It would have been good if they didn't lie so much about what you can do with it and fail spectacularly

But if they didn’t lie, who was gonna buy it?

The whole notion of phone games on your TV is dumb. I can play my phone games on my phone, anywhere. Even while watching tv!

I'm pretty sure I could get usb-c to HDMI and a Bluetooth controller and play phone games on my TV with just my phone.

Still have mine somewhere, I wonder if it would be possible to take a Shield and put it in there or a RPi...

Microconsoles in general never really became a thing. Guess there isn't much of a market for them.
