Some might, but others will probably make games with ridiculously high requirements so the only way most people can play them is via cloud-based subscription services.
Probably, but I guess we should boycott these and choose a model with our wallets.
Sub-people will subscribe.
If we'd had boycott powers like that, we would already use it to prevent this bullshit in the first place. We weren't able to prevent shit that nobody wants, imagine trying to boycott shit that some people actually want to have.
Yes but most of the Steam Deck owners are probably not into games with really high requirements.
And, for those who are, it’s great to be able to play demanding games with cheap (for now) hardware.
We absolutely should, but previous experience suggests that people will just pay for the subs.
