When was the last update to the Shield, 2019? Crazy they think it will sell for $100 more 7 years later.

    Just had an update a couple months ago actually. Believe it holds all sorts of awards for being to longest running Android product to still receive updates. They usually break shit to fix something else, but what a strange thing to complain about when referring to the shield.

    I'm talking about a hardware update not the firmware.

    Why does it need a hardware update.

  • Because the software demands get greater with each passing year. It's the same reason why your cellphone doesn't come with 2GB of RAM like they did back in 2015. I'm not saying they need a yearly refresh cycle or anything, but jacking up the price $100 when the hardware is quite dated at this point is ridiculous. Build a new one and then raise the price of that $100 from the previous generation.
