Comment on In Canada, Nintendo is increasing the price of the original Nintendo Switch.
pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoOh, there’s no doubt about that. I’m not disagreeing that Android has some good-looking games. The problem is that games like GRID Legends Mobile are the exception, not the rule.
The Switch is crap, yes.
The Play Store is also overwhelmingly crap, though.
If you exclude all of the mobile games from both stores, the Switch simply has a better catalog of games.

Let’s be real.
Android’s problem isn’t lack of good games. Nor is it performance of hardware. It’s discoverability.
But really, that’s also the problem of every storefront. Steam too has a lot of legendary games. But they’re also hard to find because shitty asset flips are so abundant.

No, you just suck at finding good Android games.

Yeah, I agree with you on that.
If discoverability was better, I’m sure Android would way get more ports of good games. With the way it is right now with shovelware and Google pushing microtransaction-riddled crap over one time purchase games, though, it’s treated as a second-class platform because it’s not nearly as profitable as other platforms.
