For a lot of people, tweaking hardware and screwing with software is as much or more of a hobby than playing games.
I’ve got about a dozen retro handhelds that are loaded with the same games but they’re all configured and modded differently simply for the love of tinkering. The time I’ve spent fooling around under the hood vs playtime is easily 50:1. But like… that’s what I buy them for.
Because nobody’s punching bigots in the teeth at every opportunity.
