…So basically mediocre Android games and rare ports of older games. Nobody is buying a handheld console to play these.

I wouldn’t call it very good. and unless you’re willing to shell out $150+ for a great telescopic controller there’s no way playing on the tablet would be comfortable.

You’re not really suggesting that playing mediocre android games on a touchscreen tablet is the same market as a handheld gaming device with controllers
196 is an older subreddit that has no rules except one: you have to post an image before leaving. A lot of posts are titled “rule” as in they’re following the rule by posting something.
Obviously it’s more of a joke than a serious rule, so it’s quickly devolved into a place for random assortments of memes and weird images.
If we’re going by piracy logic then you can buy a $200 used Switch and hack it to download games for free. I genuinely don’t think a phone or tablet would ever be a good experience. nobody is going to play with touch controls, it doesn’t let you play games on the TV, the emulator has compatibility issues and bugs, not to mention how most phones throttle hard when they get warm. I’m not buying this discussion at all.
