Yeah, it might be better than nothing, but I promised myself I wouldn't be hypocritical regarding this sort of approach when I started blacklisting consoles. I cannot just make an exception for Steam. ESPECIALLY since I'm a proponent of a game storefront having actual curation and having several people go through a game before reaching a verdict on whether it goes or not. 

Also, fun you mentioned Illusion. They totally butchered one of their games (to the point it was FAKKU who ended up publishing one of those). 

I'm sorry, but I have principles that are just strict and cannot throw them under the bus, especially when storefronts lead to an Oblivion situation where if you want to get Oblivion nowadays, you have to get the GOG version. There's no "disc version digital download" with or without DRM.

Yea it would run iOS. I think Apple wants to push Apple Arcade more and more so making a portable handheld with something similar to Joycons could make it work. I'd be curious about the price but one thing I will say about Apple is that when they go into a certain market, they certainly put effort into it unlike many Android gaming devices. And Apple's own SoCs are quite powerful as well. It will be interesting to say the least.

Again, what do they have to offer to me? It's going to turn into another Vita. 

Almost makes me wish the jailbreak community would get into game porting just to show Apple how it's done like they've done since the release of the iPhone. 

Yea I do get where you are coming from. I do think that eventually, there will be a game that gets denied where the backlash will be strong enough for Valve to reevaluate what they want to do with these types of games which will hopefully, make them be less restrictive for lewd/non H games and put the H games in an Adult corner.

And I am not sure what they will do as it's just a rumor that doesn't have much details. But I do think Apple is trying to get into the gaming market as not only do they have Apple Arcade, they are also buying up exclusives. It will certainly be interesting to have another player in the handheld space.

Aye. If Apple does actually put up some effort into making their games something to covet, then this might actually work for them.
