    “Prefer”… when you’re young, you’ve got time to burn online without distractions.

    Then you get married, have kids, work a demanding job, and you don’t get time for uninterrupted online play.

    Eventually, correspondence chess is the only gaming you have time for! /s

            Personally speaking I don’t like the alternatives much, between the comfort, the touchpads, the OS, and the community support to list just a handful of reasons, the others really do not interest me

            I’m glad alternatives exist for people who can still put up with windows though, it’s nice to have competition in the handheld PC space
