The number of people who openly admit that they can't or aren't willing to figure out emulation like it's some Herculean task is truly staggering. Like, it legitimately blows my mind how tech illiterate some people are.
Related story, I made a comment on a Twitter post complaining about the lack of modern console ports for the Trails in the Sky trilogy (this was before the remake was announced), pointing out that the Steam/GOG versions run on toasters, have full native controller support, and native support for modern resolutions, so there really isn't a need for console versions. Someone replied to me and unironically said that they needed Switch versions because they were "scared" of how complicated Steam is and how they get anxiety messing around with a settings menu on PC games. I was absolutely fucking floored. Granted, they had an anime profile pic and a bunch of furry shit in their bio, so they weren't all there mentally, but still.
I don't know, maybe I just take for granted the fact that I was given a Windows 95 workstation in 1996 at age 8 and told to have fun. I learned just about everything I possibly could about PC hardware and Windows by simply fucking around with them as a kid and a teenager. And I don't say that as some sort of brag either, the shit isn't rocket science.
