    I already have one of those that can also make phone calls. Why do you need to reinvent PC gaming on mobile hardware just to have the two most played games on phones?

    Maybe you are right, and they are looking to be the $200 portable fortnight and Roblox machine.

    Yes, ARM PC gaming on an agnostic launcher is cool, but I could easily see a V1 that works on conventional hardware to build up the marketplace, then it just sort of sits there once they realize...

    Can you actually build and fire a cannon that is made out of glass? Feels like something Mythbusters or some YouTuber should have tackled by now.

    If you liked Stanley Parable, the Ultra Deluxe Edition is worth looking into as a final word on what the game is and means to people.

    In theory, if a topic is too active, someone could block it until it cools down if it still something of value to them. It would probably be better handled client side, if I'm being honest.

    One hundred percent fair, I was suggesting this tag as some sort of automatic threshold, if users want to filter out hot threads, but that's something that would probably be better sorted out...

    There is always GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Streaming, or Steam Link if you're curious about using your phone as a portal for streaming. But as far as local Android games with a Gamepad, specifically as an MMO, nothing immediately comes to mind. Your Genshin Impacts and Honkai Star Rails are mmo-ish, but also have elements of free to play Gatcha that can be off-putting. Knights of the Old Republic is really good and was an inspiration for Mass Effect, but that's single player only. Maybe Diablo Immortal? Haven't played it, and heard that it can get pretty pay to win, but it's reviewed well.

    You can also get the Google Play Pass if it's available your area and get an awful lot of games to try out, even if you cancel you can just purchase the game. There are also some games you can get from a Netflix subscription, and there are some good ones, but you lose access to them when you cancel your subscription.

    Edit: Old School RuneScape? It has it's fans and an Android version.

    Obviously, but I'm more interested that Epic went along with allowing them to direct distribute as long as it wasn't on Steam.

    We would get so many politically blackpilled kids if TikTok was banned during an election year. I'm curious what long term effects would be, but I wouldn't want to live in that world.

    Internet is on this. Not sure it can be added to a stock console, but it's everything that is currently on the server ever since the last upload a couple years ago.

    Self distribution is an interesting choice, especially since it's only Epic exclusive in that it's not on another store.

    On launch day, World of Goo 2 will be available for Nintendo Switch, Win, Mac, and Linux.

    Nintendo Switch - on the eShop
    Epic Games Store - for Win / Mac
    WorldOfGoo2.com - right here, for Win / Mac / Linux, DRM-free
