@matt I agree with this. And I’ll be contrarian perhaps and say that I do think current Apple lacks the leadership and talent to make a gaming PC or Steam Deck device. I don’t doubt they could design a box or handheld, but I absolutely don’t think they’d be able to deliver a gaming experience equivalent to what Steam or even a solid Windows gaming PC can offer. Apple Arcade proves that to me.

@film_girl @matt Not a gamer, but why would a vertically integrated company with a very small footprint in games get serious about a horizontally loose model?

@counternotions @matt I fully agree

@counternotions @matt I'm with Matt, don’t think Apple should try to make gaming optimized machines (tho I do think opening the game porting toolkit up more could be a boon for their ecosystems) or even accessories like controllers. But I also don’t think they could with their current leadership and strategy. And that isn’t as judgmental as it sounds; I’m a big fan of focusing on core strengths.
