Mac is going back to their most successful niche - creators.
- Tiktaalik 5y agoGame developers are creators! Additionally all the creators, musicians, artists, etc that are making assets for and working with the game industry are having to use PCs to interface with the game.
- nkozyra 5y agoAlmost all of those assets can be created entirely independently, though. There's no need to use a PC to interface.
- neoberg 5y agoYes but to try and experiment with those assets "in game", they'd need to use a PC.
- Tiktaalik 5y agoYeah but in game dev increasingly the tooling is integrated in the engine and so doing assets on a mac, then bringing them over to a PC and putting them into the game is an incredible unnecessary and annoying friction point. Increasingly rare to find an artist that only works in photoshop and isn't working in the engine, directly putting their work into the game. Accordingly even the art side is using PCs.
- LegitShady 5y agoCreators is not one group but many groups who create different things.
- satsuma 5y agoand it makes total sense! computers are slowly transitioning back to professional/enthusiast/educational focused as casual internet browsing continues to move onto mobile devices. you don't have people buying laptops to browse the internet on their couch anymore.
