Why is gaming so dependent on IBM PC compatible hardware now? (self.explainlikeimfive)

Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?

By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people

Slay the Spire is superior on mobile (so are a ton of board games like Jaipur and Spelndor). Sagrada works really well. I’m curious about the new Ass creed. The old Infinity Blade games were fun and had overall good graphics, even for PC games. I wish the dude behind “THOSE GAMES” would port it to mobile, but steam link is a thing. Doorkickers. Some of the dual-stick shooters.
