Why is gaming so dependent on IBM PC compatible hardware now? - eviltoast

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

    Are you actually asking why PC gaming is better than mobile gaming???

    Mobile games are ad ridden bullshit apps which are about as fun as scraping your balls against razor wire.

    PC games have always been superior if your PC is specced well. If not, just play older games.

      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.
