"Embedded" means different things to different people.
Back when I was a game developer at EA, Madden and many other sports console games all shipped using Flash (!) interpreters with full GC. These were games running on PS2, NGC, XBox, etc.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoSure it does. But if its possible to choose a cheaper hardware chipset and not do GC then that's likely the correct choice. Or the designer has made a mistake (BOM cost higher than it needs to be).
- mwcampbell 6y agoIs it always a mistake for the BOM cost to be higher than it hypothetically could be? Can't a designer reasonably trade off some BOM cost for other things such as development cost?
