It’s so awful too. I swear it goes down twice a month.

The original article referenced was misleading and only referenced browser games. The actual percentage should have increased if you look at Steam stats and use that as a baseline.

It’s a very different game though. They’re very different and attract different crowds.

That’s just for this issue right now in particular but they’ve had instances where supposedly an overzealous employee was going around banning anime-like games a few years back with no explanation.

The other big change that’s coming for a lot of people I know: end of Windows 10 support. Honestly, the majority of people I know who still have a traditional Windows PC are using machines that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11.

The average person just simply won’t upgrade. These are the people who find regular updates or shutting of their PC already a pain, what makes you think they would switch to a completely different OS?

Also their refusal to admit to blatent usage of AI generated art for their assets.

Since we’re talking about Apple, there’s an upcoming library and spec called WebGPU that, contrary to it’s name, is a higher level cross platform graphics library. It’s an interesting idea, write once and depending on your platform, it would use the corresponding platform’s preferred backend (e.g. Direct3D on Windows, Metal on Macs, etc). It’s supposed to be promising and provide a easy way for any existing dev to hop in until they had to give up on SPIR-V support and come with a Metal-like shading language just to appease Apple so that they would support it due to Apple’s existing legal disagreements with Khronos.

And from what I’ve seen from WGSL, it’s nowhere as nice as GLSL and HLSL.

So yea, if you need any more evidence of Apple’s shitty attitude in the space.

Who was expecting this to be console pricing? This is essentially a full laptop in a tiny form factor, of course it’s gonna cost more like a laptop or you know, all of the other handheld PCs out there.
