    Can’t a phone just be a phone? For the love of god. Do we need to game on everything?

      Can’t a phone just be a phone? For the love of god. Do we need to listen to music on everything? - some person 10 years ago

      A phone is just a portable computer. Just like people not wanting both a console and a PC in their homes, I can understand wanting to use your phone as a Nintendo Switch alternative for portable gaming. Paired with a decent input device it could solve that craving without the need for both a phone and a separate portable game console in your pocket. I honestly think a decent implementation of this would be amazing (current phone gaming market is too focused on gacha mechanics and timers)
