As I said in another comment, I own a series S, and I think it’s pretty ridiculous of me to expect a $300 piece of hardware to be able to play the latest games past five years. Even with what they have said, I just kind of assumed it can’t be true. 
I imagine in two or three years I will switch to dev mode and boot retro arch on it. 
Right but you're probably a little more clued up to this sort of stuff than the average consumer who's seen the marketing and thought 'oh lovely, I don't need a disk drive' in this thing.
Both my brothers own the S. It's an incredible little machine, but imo they screwed the proverbial pooch when they pushed this as a 1080p alternative to the more powerful Series X.
Hey I get consistent 1440p and decent upscaled 4k! lol
