'The truth is, PlayStation has always been a good place to play indie games, but for a lot of people, the console of choice in that regard is Nintendo Switch 2.'

Good grief Charlie Brown, that is an ill conceived, highly rhetorical, vague, marketing-speak of a statement to make. 'A lot of people'? What, more than you can get in a phonebox but fewer than in a shopping centre? 😆😆 More than in a menage-a-tois but fewer than at a Bonny Blue porn shoot? 🥳❤️

Here's why 'a lot of people' who have never compared the indie legacy of a 30 year old console brand with an 8 month old console in order to decide which is the console of choice for indies might pick Switch 2 if this specific scenario ever came up organically in a conversation:

Portability — play indie games anywhere.
Lower hardware barrier — indie games rarely need high-end graphics.
Audience overlap — Nintendo users historically buy more stylised, experimental, or smaller-scale games.
Established indie reputation from the original Switch — the Switch (2017) became strongly associated with indie titles.

@ShadowofSparta exactly why they should be ignored. It's not like they can ever be reasoned with seeing as what they do is in bad faith. So it's really frustrating that a professional journalist uses them for attention instead of rely on the quality of content of the article. Turns out this article lacks any substance and its only hook is to reference 'the haters'. Imagine having a job like that. Can't be satisfying.

What kind of a journalist writes and headlines an article dedicated to a minority group that will only ever exist to be negative about a game they'll never play?

Good. It's Acolyte, Star Trek Academy level crap.

You drama queens 🙄 if only you engaged your brain before your emotions. Major problem with so many people, these days. The demo size means is large because it's contains content and assets from the finished game. If you go on to buy it the overall download will be smaller.

@TheArt Eurogamer stopped being a credible website long ago when it chose ideology over journalism.

We've landed on the Moon, of course it's feasible
