One day I'll figure out how to get Waydroid working, but I wish stuff like this worked on Linux more easily.

There are way more good games for PC than Android, and a lot of Android games are ad-filled garbage. Any bets on when Google kills this product?

Are there any valid android games that's also good to play on android and on PC?

I think of vampire survivor but it also has PC version.

Quite off topic, but some PC games are now on Android. See for example Space Cadet: https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android/releases

Once you get to enjoy a proper straightforward PC game on your phone, most every other ad-filled Android game feels insulting.

Only on Windows so far, bummer.

Indeed, then there's the huge amountmicropayment freemium pay-to-win games as well. And some games where you go head to head with other players on your phone will suffer from the increased percentage of players using mouse+keyboard, giving them an edge over the mobile players on touchscreen.

On the surface level this seems good. The current Android-on-PC landscape is pretty bleak; your choices boil down to spyware/adware emulators (Mumu, Bluestacks, LDPlayer etc) or Windows Subsystem for Android, which forced me to either use the Amazon Appstore or sideload through the terminal last I tried it.

Looks like my account isn't eligible for the beta yet, presumably it's a slow rollout.
