    “Prefer”… when you’re young, you’ve got time to burn online without distractions.

    Then you get married, have kids, work a demanding job, and you don’t get time for uninterrupted online play.

    Eventually, correspondence chess is the only gaming you have time for! /s

            Personally speaking I don’t like the alternatives much, between the comfort, the touchpads, the OS, and the community support to list just a handful of reasons, the others really do not interest me

            I’m glad they exist though, it’s nice to have competition in the handheld PC space
