@imabuddha @mdhughes to me it seems odd to make a quirky handheld like the #PlayDate to begin with.

At a price point of $199 + taxes, customs and shipping, this thing is $20 below the #AnaloguePocket and since #PricesSetExpectations, it feels like a bad value proposition.

Want to play some nice games on the go?

• Get a used #GBA or even #new2DSxl instead or snipe a #PSP or #PSvita to #softmod...

Want to do some #LowSpec #GameDevelopment?

• Make #Homebrew for any #Gameboy or #NintendoDS or a @Raspberry_Pi / #Pi0W or even #PiPico: There are #Handheld #kits for these too!

Want some #RetroGaming on the go?

• Consider one of those cheap GBA clones that just run ROMs off a MicroSD!

Want to make some games that look good on a #monochrome #eInk?

• Just buy an eInk screen and shove that on a #RaspberryPi.

Want to build some quirky #controller?

• Get an #Arduino and you can make something go spinny...

It just feels like one of these Raspberry Pi Zero Clones that come with neither good documentation nor software support, and I wounder how they even got enough backers to make it.

• Granted I'm not the target audience and I guess the "Bass Fishing Controller" memes already exist...

Personally, I think for the specs and the type of games possible on that screen, even $99 would be a hard sale...

• $49 would've been an option if this had like a vibrant ecosystem like the #GameBoy...
• But hey maybe I'm critical of it because I never had played with one nor know anyone in person who owns one... Others seem to like it tho…
