I didn't know what playdate was. From the website:

- Handheld game console with a focus on indie games

- Black and white display

- Analog crank on the side

- Comes with 24 free games

Sounds neat!

Comes with 2 games, followed by 2 more games every week to the total of 24 for the first "season". And the season starts when you first use the console, not on a fixed date.

That's frustrating? I can't see that as a pro especially a year from now when all the games are known and fully detailed on the web and you're stuck waiting to get to the one you want play.

Well... play along and don't peek at the spoilers? It's really not that hard. And I'm sure they will have a way of bypassing the wait.
