@gamingonlinux uhhh yeah, the system is doing well and is getting some ogf the games pre announced day 1 verified...I'm pretty sure it is going to be fine

@gamingonlinux That is hilarious, it's like those first few weeks of a new year where you accidentally keep writing last year.

Someone saw this, didn't realise it was 2023, and published it.

@gamingonlinux I love the idea of what steam deck that can be. But no its not revolutionary. And I can’t see this being dominant going forward

Now I by no means want to bash others, I make mistakes, but this is quite a big one for a front-page article to use entirely the wrong year's data.

@gamingonlinux have you considered: that headline is *prime* click bait, right now, due to popular sentiment being the *exact* opposite.

What I'm saying is, it may be intentional misinformation/rage bait?

@gamingonlinux if it sounds like clickbait and walks like clickbait...

@gamingonlinux Weren't they the ones arguing that the Steam Deck needed exclusive games, not realizing that it is a PC (for which there are already tons of exclusive titles)?

@gamingonlinux Agreed. I can definitely see devs being cautious at first, but the system seems to be selling very well.

I think a new survey is needed.

@gamingonlinux it’s all about the clicks

@gamingonlinux Idiots.

@gamingonlinux Wow....do they even read current gaming news or are they using an AI bot to farm and write articles?

@gamingonlinux using old data to push a narrative is just par for the course for outlets with little investigative skills. i remember people pushing this whol "stadia has lag" thing up untill the end, even though most of it was already gone within 6 months. (no it wasn't a good platform but the software was solid)

@gamingonlinux oh yes. The clickbait website. They're a year away from "you won't believe what Mario looks like now!"

@gamingonlinux PCGamesN hasn't been the best in terms of information validation.

I ended up being used as a source for potential release dates for a project I was a backend dev on at the time, because I replied to an inquiry with a 'I don't know' and a pointing of then towards the person who was our actual PR point.

@gamingonlinux

@gamingonlinux to be fair, and with all due respect, theyre destroying their profession. It goes on not only in Gaming/Tech news, but also on almost every type of journalism. There are a lot of good, objective, respectful journalists in the world, but it appears those who get the 15 minutes of tv/radio/newsite fame are never part of that group...
