I was at a retro game store talking to the clerk about new FPGA handhelds for the Game Boy Color, and he got defensive:
“I’d never buy one of those. They’re not made by Nintendo.”
Meanwhile, I’m thinking: I own an original Game Boy Color. The screen is awful. We’ve had 25 years of mobile display progress—why not benefit from it?
Brand loyalty makes no sense here. Nintendo isn’t re-releasing the Game Boy Color. They don’t profit from the used market, and most of those units are half-dead anyway.
So why not pick up something that actually performs better? -

@puppygirlhornypost2 It’s just silly brand loyalty for the sake of it.
Clerk was like, “It will never be like the original thing.”
And I said, “That’s because it’s better!”
