ANECDOTE

Borlex Pit: Quick, Addictive Win

  • Ralph and Jake gushed about Borlex Pit's addictive loop and rapid unlock satisfaction after 25 hours.
  • Devolver reported 750k sales and the hosts expect long-term growth from word-of-mouth.
ADVICE

Replace Clunky OEM UI With SteamOS

  • If a handheld OEM UI frustrates you, install SteamOS to get a Steam Deck-like experience and wider storefront compatibility.
  • Use SteamOS for multi-store access; it's smoother for PC-first handheld play.
INSIGHT

Streaming Multiplies Audience Beyond Sales

  • Streaming and episodic delivery amplify reach far beyond sales figures, creating a larger audience than buyers alone.
  • Developers can embrace streaming as discovery rather than fear it cannibalizes purchases.
