A Tech Affair episode 175: Downloads and legality, gaming handhelds, "Scavengers Reign", "American Arcadia"
We talk about the special case of Switzerland in the download sector. We explain why even handhelds costing 2000 francs are no guarantee of a great gaming experience. And why you shouldn't miss "American Arcadia" under any circumstances.
With the price surcharges and new restrictions on streaming services, more people are once again sailing into the pirate bay. We explain what can and cannot be legally downloaded in Switzerland and why Switzerland is a special case.
With the Steam Deck OLED, Valve has given the popular PC handheld a major update. Other manufacturers have also long since jumped on the mobile gaming bandwagon. I have tested two new alternatives from Ayaneo and Lenovo, which are not necessarily better despite having more power.
If you want to see something unusual again, take a look at "Scavengers Reign". In this sci-fi animation series, stranded astronauts are confronted with extremely unusual flora and fauna.
This week's game tip is called "American Arcadia" and is a kind of playable version of "The Truman Show". However, the reality show consists of tens of thousands of involuntary TV entertainers. The game is played from two perspectives and is gripping right to the end.
And if you have any multiplayer tips for our upcoming team-internal gaming session, let us know.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
From the latest iPhone to the return of 80s fashion. The editorial team will help you make sense of it all.
