Jak and Daxter has a native port called OpenGOAL, the entire trilogy is playable on PC (1 and 2 are fully playable, 3 is as well but it's not considered "done"). Also not done by AI, it's been in the works for years.

Quiver Launcher is a great way to launch many of these ports, it manages the github files and such. You do have to provide your own legal copy of the game file for each one.

Cloud gaming will never completely replace PC, companies that haven’t figured that out yet needs to change leadership.

That was inevitable. They don't want us to control anything and have been steadily moving towards that goal for awhile. Microsoft tried it too early. Sony felt now was the right time and given all it's defenders... they seem to be right.
Just look at car subscriptions for seat warmers, adobe and CEOs outright saying it's the goal. Netflix basically said it's waiting for a post console world.

My social contract with gaming companies is a one-time purchase of a complete game, no preorders, no subscriptions
I didn't start buying DLC when they began intentionally partitioning games into incomplete packages. Or when they started offering limited editions. Or any number of promotional items, horse armors, or twitch drops. Anything that's intended to produce fomo or punish you for not paying more than base cost for their product, just makes me stop buying their games
Come to think of it I don't believe I have a single game that Epic, Bethesda, Ubisoft, or Treyarch has designed in the past 15 years

I would say the controversy is more over ownership and the ability to play older games without re-buying them than about physical media in and of itself, PC's digital games tend to do better than consoles on both those fronts.

Because of its age its lagging behind other portable PCs. Before the price hike it was reasonable but now it's just not.

u/LunchTwey 2h ago
It's really old and doesn't run modern games amazingly. It was fine before because it was cheap, but now the cheapest model is $789. Please do not spend that much on a steamdeck. Either go Switch 2 or get another PC handheld that actually has the performance to justify that pricetag
3
u/StrawHat89 1h ago
It's weaker and the lack of DLSS hinders it in comparison to the Switch 2. There are other PC handhelds that are stronger but they're also significantly more expensive than the Steam Deck which is also more expensive thanks to the AI bros eating all the RAM and storage. It sucks, I would still definitely suggest the Steam Deck if it weren't for the price increase, because you can still play a lot of your library on it, especially indies.

Can we stop calling these "native PC ports"? They're nothing close to native PC ports. A native PC port would be rebuilding the game from the ground with DirectX pipeline in mind, native DX controller support, and a whole host of other things. Rejiggering it to a semi equivalent call isn't a port, its JIT emulation with the work done upfront.

u/jamesnada R7 5700X | RTX 3070 | 32GB 4000mhz 2h ago
It's not just about the discs, but the storefronts and the rights to the games as well. If I buy a game on Steam, or even better GoG, I have that game in my library. Even if that game is delisted or removed from the storefront I can still install it (bar some rare exceptions).
Sony has, on several occasions, removed the ability to play games in players libraries due to "accidental restrictions". And now they're stopping disc production after showing they can remove purchased products from your library
Sure, PC games haven't had regular physical copies in 10-15 years, but when you "own" the game on PC you have significantly more rights than on console.
