You could run empires on the back of a spreadsheet.
You absolutely shouldn’t, it’s nearly the worst option you have available, but you could.
Simple. It’s theirs when it works and yours when it doesn’t.
At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?
Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don’t understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.
Maybe I’m just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?
This is why I specified “nearly” the worst. It can absolutely get the job done and has basically every tool you’d need to do the job, but it’s pretty much the worst amongst the “this will do everything you need” options.
My thought process was abacus < pen & paper < text file < spreadsheet < database solutions
