It's worrying that a lot of companies aren't pushing these types of changes back. Particularly with Google, they'll have software patents that prevent others from implementing the same improvements but also, based on their track record, will abandon this project within a few years. When that happens, their improvements will simply be inaccessible.
- GabeWeiss_ 4y agoI realize this may sound hollow coming from a Google employee...but I am fighting to be sure something like this stops happening (in particular the deprecating causing loss of functionality). Google is (a little) better than it has been in the past. E.g. the opening of the protocols on the Stadia controllers when Stadia was shut down so their controllers could work on other platforms. I am pushing at the OSS angle, but new product, so uphill battle. :)
