Make a new standard and allow any third party to use it. They just wanted to make a new GameCube instead.

minus-squarerafoix@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 minutes agoYou’re asking me to create the design? I’m not an engineer. I can tell you that PCs are generally a mess and are definitely limited by standards set decades ago. That’s what Valve should be doing instead of making a $1000 PS4.
