Straughan 07/16/21 6:39:36 PM #38:	Hardware is a risky adventure and they aren't really versed in full form factor media like this. Most of their peripherals have failed and I think their VR is on its way out. If this survives and thrives it will be because of some odd demo that they tapped. $400 is a bit pricey for the slot it fills when most people who would want this probably have phones where they spend their money. Nintendo is the master of portables. Let them do it. This is gonna be SEGA Gamegear 2.0. Atari Lynx even. <cite>Straughan posted [p:956155798] in Valve anno...
