It's easier to buy known brands, fix them, and get users back, than it is to try and get users to download a newly created series.

People also thought Microsoft was stupid for buying Mojang for 2.5 BILLION, because "everyone who already wants the game already bought the game".

Ignoring the fact that entire new generations have been born and become obsessed with it, play on bedrock with the market place, and buy all of the Minecraft merch. Also all of the other games they've launched with the Minecraft branding since.

My 7 Pro can emulate Wii games flawlessly. Possibly switch, but I've not tried.

It's a very powerful phone.

Or maybe season 2 is coming?

That's wild to give that up. I never carry my actual cards anymore for convenience and security. Plus Google Pay gives the retailer a virtual card number, keeping your real one safe.

Not to mention it's safer to bank on a phone vs computer, as you're less likely to have a virus or Keylogger since everything is containerized.

I’ve read horror stories about losing or breaking a phone and being locked out of everything because the standard phone backups don’t save the passkeys private keys.

This is no different than what we already have. Many people don't backup their TOTP to any cloud provider, or even themselves, and if their phone breaks, they lose all of their TOTP. And most people don't save recovery keys (if the service even provides them).

So ya. Stop fear mongering.
