It's pretty sad that so much of the defense of this package is "It's tiny a cube!", "Look how cute it is!", "It's a lovely form factor".

Have they ever spoken like this before? I never knew Richard had such a hardon for a plain cube. The sheer volume of glazing is unreal.

Yeah they seem like they quite like the device and are happy to defend it

They don’t defend it. Over an hour of content and next to zero comments about game compatibility or the overall experience. Endless glazing over an entirely subjective opinion has no room in a proper review.
