but they didn't force Nvidia to ruin the Shield TV'S launcher with ads, and other bloat.

The "Shield's launcher" is just Android TV... Nvidia did not write their own Android launcher just for this device.

Fuck me. You might be right, as I haven't actually used the stock launcher since the big ad update years back.

I just remembered my original launcher having a lot of a Nvidia specific integrations, but I guess those could have just been bolted on at the system level.
