Pushing the limits of technology is how technology improves. Not all games need to do this, but I don't see it as a bad thing that some do.

I suggest something from level1techs. The prices are high, but they support DP 1.4 https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/p/14-kvm-switch-dual-monitor-2computer-z5erd-n6mbj

Comparing prices directly like this is almost irrelevant imo. And doesn't really dictate what the price of games should be.

Reasons old games should be pricier:

  • Hardware involved (cartridges/electronics).
  • Total number of customers were smaller, you have to subsidize development with less total sales.

Reasons why new games should be pricier:

  • Development has inflated to hundreds of people and multiple years (instead of dozens of people and multiple months)

But at the end of the day, business just price what the market will bear. It's only indirectly related to the cost of production. The margins on some games are insanely high compared to others.

Good news, It's coming out on PC.

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I'm not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

As far as I know, it's mainly games with DRM that might trigger on multiple installs/computers. So companies will disable family sharing. Not sure how common this is.

On the Steam Deck it already "just works" for a lot of games (with an OLED or an external display). So we're not that far off for those changes propagating to Desktop.

Use Gamescope and a Vulkan layer. Here's a more detailed post: https://planet.kde.org/xavers-blog-2023-12-18-an-update-on-hdr-and-color-management-in-kwin/

If you get the latest gamescope from git. You no longer need the vulkan layer.

Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40

I bought it after waiting for the server issues to resolve.

As someone who owns an LG C1, not a single DP in sight.
