Final Fantasy 16 producer and 14 director Naoki Yoshida wishes everyone played games on the same console.
Everyone on Steam Deck, fuck these shitty walled gardens.
With the itty bitty tiny text? I love my deck but damn it doesn’t work with my old man eyes.
They invented these things called reading glasses, have you heard of them? Anyway, PC mouse and keyboard is king, but we’re talking console format here i think, and a PC console is better than a walled garden console.
Wow, that’s a kind of dismissal that only those who have no idea how bad it gets can wield. Reading glasses help with clarity, but clarity is not the only issue with old eyes and other visual impairment. Sometimes you just plain need things bigger.
One day you’ll look back on this exchange and cringe at the kind of person you used to be. Be better. Accessibility is important.

I’m okay with this on the condition that that platform is PC.
Even that might become an x86-64 vs ARM divide.

You want developers to choose a specific set of hardware requirements and only develop games to target and work on that specific set of hardware specifications?
That sounds like a bad idea all around.
PC is an open platform and not a “specific set” of hardware requirements.
Do you even know what a personal computer is?
The context appears to be mainly about how having to develop for different consoles/hardware configurations/etc makes development harder. So, choosing PC as the “platform” in this context would be the worst possible option to choose.
