Comment on In Canada, Nintendo is increasing the price of the original Nintendo Switch.

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.
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.

No, you just suck at finding good Android games.

Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t a fair comparison since the original Switch never had it. We’re comparing the original Switch to Android, not PC or PS5 to Android.
The problem with demanding exact “equivalents” is that it feels dismissive—like you’re rejecting games without giving them a real chance. Instead of chasing direct counterparts, focus on finding great games that stand on their own merits.
