What are you buying for $300? Steam deck is about as cheap as you can get and that’s for $360. It’s also heavier, smaller screen, has a lower quality screen, and will run out of battery quicker.
So if you don’t do pc gaming, why on earth would you want to spend closer to double the price?
You know why you think it’s a stupid product? You either live alone or you still live with mom and dad and have a ps5 in your bedroom. This product isn’t for you, and you’re an idiot for thinking if it’s not something little ol you would want, than no one else must have a use for it, either.
Intelligence check: Critical fail. A switch is $220 used and can be played on the couch and also on someone else’s couch. Nice projection about living with mom and dad, it cracks me up when people accuse strangers on the internet of things. Proud homeowner of 6 years here, dipshit. Remember the crowd you’re berating on Lemmy, we tend to skew older than those on other cesspits you likely frequent
So a smaller screen and to get a good controller that holds a phone, they’re $100, or you can get a crap controller for $50 or less.
Then are you going to be using you current phone that will have your gaming screwed up by calls and text messages? Or your old phone that you have to leave plugged in to use because the battery is shot? Also, how are you enjoying your audio lag because your phone doesn’t have a headphone jack?
Most phones released in the 0ast 5 years have no audio jack, you skipped over answering about the controller. You can’t really play ps5 games with touch controls, and you skipped over how incredibly small your iPhone 6s screen is. All olthat you describe would make for terrible gaming.

This feels like a too much emotion for the subject matter.

Ah. So you don’t deny you live alone. Just deny living with mom and dad. My point still stands then .
Oh I don’t know maybe you want to actually game portable and not just enjoy fake portability?
Maybe you just want to play your ps5 games next to your spouse while they watch TV.
That can be done easily and cheaply, with a smartphone and a telescopic controller for example.

Well, it’s still easier and cheaper 🙂
This is incredibly easy to solve, you don’t even need hacks.
Gaming on smartphones and emulation on Android exists though.
To be fair that is not that bad, I recently did it with an iPhone 6s to play some old iOS games, gladly the device still holds some hours of gaming.
Also IDK what you mean by the audio thingy, but my phone has a jack port.
