Why is gaming so dependent on IBM PC compatible hardware now?
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
Except, I am talking about an ultra-low-end business laptop with integrated graphics and 4 GB of RAM...from 2015. Its gaming experience is still dramatically superior to even flagship smartphones from 2022, simply because those smartphones are not IBM PC compatible enough to run any software.
