    I bet this will be an easy case. Find who’s selling them.

    I see a lot of people hyping this thing. It’s 200$ and as strong as a first gen gameboy. What the fuck?

      Millenials can’t afford houses so there’s enough disposable income in the system for a market for $200 Gameboys. I’m only 1/4 joking.

      Yeah if you don’t appreciate cool hardware and only care about raw performance, then it’s definitely not for you

        Seems right up my alley but there’s a snowballs chance in hell of me coughing up that much dough for it. Good on the devs for finding their market though.

      The playdates have unique serial numbers. Im pretty sure they could disable stolen units from ever connecting to the store. So, no season of games, no catalog purchases. The playdates would not exactly be worthless but Panic could probably track down the thieves if they sold the units.

      I wouldn’t doubt it to hear they’re insured for this so it’s not the hardest hit in the world.

    The playdate is so cute and fun. There are so, so many indie developers having fun with it.

    Tons of free games from devs just learning to code, and quick little fun games for $5 or less.

    There is no backlighting and it’s really dark, so you’re kinda rewarded for playing outside, too

      Yeah I love that little console too. Even Luke Pope who is known for Papers Please and Return of the Obra Dinn recently released his playdate game and it’s a ton of fun.

    I really like playdate console but the price itself is soo high & the hardware it self kinda same performance with game boy.
    I rather buy secondhand shitty old laptop (pentium 4 or core2duo) have same experience rather buying that thing
