You’ve hit it.
There’s a reason the web once was a threat to Microsoft’s monopoly: it led to rich experiences they couldn’t control.
The web is so popular, Apple couldn’t block it. The trick to attacking them anticompetitively is to enhance the browser to take advantage of modern hardware capabilities and then go after the iOS browser restrictions as anticompetitive.
Google Stadia is an example of this arguably. But with things coming up like WASM I could see the browser being a local experience for games too.
- DivisionSol 6y agoThere is nothing stopping the Browser from providing AAA experiences, today, other than... Most likely, only a 'good' game engine. JavaScript + WebGL are very capable, right now, and for the past ~5 years.
