Maybe Epic will have some breakthroughs in making Fortnite browser based.
Not sure what would be needed to accomplish this.
Maybe better WebGL?
That would be amazing to help kids discover that the internet is much larger than apps.
- astlouis44 6y agoWebAssemblu + WebGPU is the only hope of breaking free of the walled garden that is the App Store. I wish Sweeney would wake up and realize this. Sure, PWA support isn't great on iOS, but if you click this link below you will be transported into a web version of Diablo that is completely playable on any iOS device: https://d07riv.github.io/diabloweb/ https://d07riv.github.io/diabloweb/
- ThatPlayer 6y agoThis doesn't completely work because of all the missing features that Apple's iOS Safari does not implement. And you cannot even get a different browser (engine), because of Apple's App Store rules. Off the top of my head, iOS Safari doesn't support notifications or (at least on iPhone) fullscreen API. Surprisingly there is controller support https://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen https://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen

- ThatPlayer 6y agoIt could be done in a different browser that supports these features, of course. But on iOS, there is no other browser, and Apple prevent any other browser from being put onto the App Store. Chrome and Firefox on iOS is just a skin around iOS Safari with bookmark syncing features. They have no ability to implement these features on iOS.
