Giving Apple more power by making software for their products for free that Apple wants a large cut from doesn't sound like a good idea.
Make games for Linux, and let Apple figure out a compatability layer to make it work on their products. That's the way it should be.
- otterley 5y agoApple doesn't get a cut of software that's sold outside the App Store on MacOS. And the most performant MacOS APIs for graphics rendering aren't on Linux AFAIK. Besides, game developers generally eschew compatibility layers because they harm performance.
- criddell 5y ago> Apple wants a large cut from doesn't sound like a good idea It sounds like a good idea if it leads to higher profits. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all charge game developers similar fees.
- NorwegianDude 5y agoMaybe short term. Helping a company grow that is know to lock down their products and force developers to pay them for access might not be the best long term plan overall.
