I don’t even see downvotes, and I sort by date/time.
That said, I mostly agree with you. However, with prices and greed being what they are, and price gouging being ignored… I’d say it’s more of a fair play now than ever.
That said, if you’re trying to emulate a Switch 2, most likely, you’d have better luck with another platform. For one, Switch is an ARM-based system, and most Windows PCs are x86-64, so you’re emulating two things, the CPU and the code base. Emulating PlayStation or Xbox would be less work, provided you even can. If you have a Mac, of course those are ARM, but their GPUs are not really meant for gaming, unless you have a Max or Ultra variant. I had someone tell me their M1 Max (or Ultra, I forget) runs Cyberpunk as well as an Xbox. Well sure it does, but you paid 5-6 times what that Xbox costs, so what did you actually win besides a Darwin award? If you’re gonna spend big money on a Mac, you could have spent the same money on a solid Mac and a gaming PC/console and you’d have fewer issues. (Worth noting here, Macs can run Cyberpunk natively, but before CDPR ported it to ARM, Mac gamers were running the Windows version via Whisky and getting decent performance on comfortably (read: expensive) equipped Macs.)
If you just wanna play Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, of course you can’t get those on an x86-64 console to emulate.
Anyway, the problem is, you are given no legitimate options to purchase the game because the consoles have nearly doubled in price and there’s no added value, it’s just “fuck you, pay us or don’t.”
