When they didn’t mention gaming at all, I had a feeling that something about the device made it unsuitable for it. It seems crazy to not advertise it to the current biggest market for that kind of device otherwise.
I suspect this isn’t quite the reason, but that there are reasons beyond it.
While you’re developing a game, there’s going to be a lot of things that won’t be coded yet. Many of them are simply going to need to be stubbed in until you can implement them fully, or somehow worked around.
Which ones get what treatment is going to be very particular to your game, and your development style. There’s no wrong way to do it. Do what works for your situation.
Communities need to be maintained and moderated by someone. If you love a game enough to do that for it here, you should consider making a community for that game. People definitely shouldn’t make communities just because they think they should exist without having the time or energy to maintain them.
I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of them, but I don’t mind them. If there’s a game from that list that I really, really want to keep playing, I can just buy that game. In the mean time, I got to enjoy all the other games that were fun for just a short time.
I definitely prefer XB Game Pass instead, though, where the whole catalog is available no matter when you started and whether or not you clicked a button in time.
This is the first I’ve heard of it. I didn’t know Razr made a folding screen phone. I think I’d heard rumors they were making a “flip phone”, but didn’t imagine it’d be this.
I’m not interested in such fragile displays, or in tiny square displays, so I think this is probably not the phone for me, even if it was in my price range.
It’s not a deal-breaker for me, since I already own a PS5 and I was already looking to stream those games to my computer anyhow, but haven’t got it set up well yet. There’s some weird audio stuff going on, at least.
I am also not interested in buying handheld-only games for another underpowered system, so it’s fine that it streams them from a powerful device instead. If they manage to get the battery life good enough, I’m going to seriously consider it… But not at launch.
2 years? It used to be 3 years. It’s one way to get constant raises, as a company is unlikely to keep up with your value otherwise. That said, “unlikely” is the key word there. I’ve been lucky in finding companies that kept up with that value, at least until I fell out of favor with management. And at some point you’re basically topped out anyhow unless you want to deal with FAANG-like stress. And I don’t.
But yes, if you’re being undervalued, you should look at changing jobs and fixing that.
It could be a conspiracy, or it could just be that developers implement those features when they get money/help from nVidia and AMD, and don’t when they don’t. Or maybe AMD’s offering is easy to implement and nVidia’s isn’t. I vaguely recall that nVidia’s is tied to the game more tightly than AMD’s is, but don’t quote me on that.
In the end, I expect we’ll eventually converge on a system that both work with, and this’ll all just be a blip in history, like every other standard worth supporting.
I can just imagine the craziness that would result if he admitted that exclusives are anti-competitive. That would go so badly for all console makers.
