    Yep. That’s the delicious irony here. They could probably release a Linux or Windows based clone next week, if they wanted.

    The years of work they’re putting in is probably 90% to avoid leaking their game engine on non-proprietary hardware. Which is the same choice that will make it an unprofitable market flop.

      If they just released a handheld PC but with their UI and store as default it would probrally make tons of money, of course that means respecting their customers so its unlikely.
