2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.

To be fair the price includes 10 or so original indie titles which if you go by the store front's average game pricetag ($5.36) that accounts for $53.6 worth. (And that's really not fair to some of the games I've played)

Correction: The first season of games that come with the device total out at 24 so going off of that original 5.36 average you'd actually have about $129 give or take worth of game value, leaving the actual Playdate device at a $71 purchase for the device itself.

That is a fair point.
