    Wow, didn’t even go into the quality of the sticks, triggers and buttons. Fine, I guess? Anyone can put the Deck, Legion Go, Switch and even an Xbox controller next to each other to make that comparison.

    The performance issues are pretty much what I expect from any handheld that tries to push the resolution and refresh rate much farther than the Steam Deck or Switch. You won’t get any benefit out of it, just a higher price. Well, it’s nice for indie games probably.

    You could make better use of the screen if you double down on the integrated graphics and make the whole thing like €1200. I’m not big on hardware knowledge but there are more powerful chips out there that fit in a handheld, right? Battery life would probably be terrible.

    Ah yes, solving design problems by asking players nicely.

    In a traditional MMO like World of Warcraft, it’s not like you build a base in the starter zone and leave it there for a week, because imagine how many bases would be stacking up. [But] that’s kind of how our game does work because you can end up with a lot of bases.

    I’m pretty sure most people dislike destroying their own stuff or alternatively, cleaning up. If you’re gonna let them have multiple bases instead of just one, what do you expect?

    Just speculating but: it sounds like they only tested this with small groups, and that worked. If that’s what you’re going for, you have to set up the game to play in small groups, not as an MMO… In hindsight they might wish they had put player bases in separate instances.
