I feel sorry for gaming handheld devices.

This is cool

I feel sorry for them in terms of MS support which of late has fell off a cliff into the ocean and drifting to an inter-dimensional portal, but also think its great for those wanting to have a unified UI across multiple devices. I kind of like it and may try at some point but I don't really have any "Xbox" games, just about everything I play is via GOG or Steam (and not from Microsoft).

Edit: Ironically I do have some Sony games, Spider-Man 1+2, Horizon (1 remaster and 2), and God Of War via Steam.

That is pretty much exactly what I mean.

I installed it on my original Ally Z1E and am impressed by it so far, feels like a good foundation to build off of. Just being able to control so much with only the gamepad feels like a huge step compared to the old setup (lots of touchscreen navigation).

I also believe it's still in alpha, and the users are being treated as alpha testers for the next gen Xbox experience.
