While I would also like a lottery system, I did get my Zelda preorder in on everything using standard means. I had to be diligent in watching source links in certain communities, but I got it done. That said, removing the stress factor is desirable.

    Quite the interesting take that they "stopped innovating". Sure their hardware specs have always been lack luster, but Satoru Iwata always focused on fun over bleeding edge. After the Wii, PlayStation and Microsoft followed suite with the PS4 "wand" and Xbox Kinect. After the Switch released, Sony created the PS Portal, not to mention the Steam Deck and other copy cats. They have literally been the top innovators of the last few generations.

    Black screens, game flickers, quality issues. I've tried the feature on and off over the course of 11 years and for something I feel should just work out of the box with minimal to no extra configuration required (like moonlight\sunshine do), it's just not good enough.

    I'm convinced Remote Play is broken indefinitely and will never be fixed. It's never remained stable enough for me to play extended sessions on my Deck or long ago with my Stream Link (hardwired even) which was specifically designed for remote play.

    Moonlight and Sunshine have worked flawlessly, so it really boggles me that Valve can't figure out what two different open source projects have excelled at.

    The configuration has absolutely no bearing on performance. It is purely for standardization. Straight through cables work with either because it's literally just connecting the copper on either end. The difference between A and B is just flipping 2 pairs around although I forget which. Only 4 or 5 cables of 8 are even used to this day which is crazy.
