I agree with this. Even their GPU drivers for gaming are bad, they get stuck at “basic” things like MPEG encoding. But I don’t understand why software is a problem for them with their deep pockets. It can’t possibly be dearth of talent, or that it is expensive. Here in Europe a good software engineer earns half of what a mediocre software engineer earns in USA, to say nothing of India or China. They could just hire a bunch of teams and up their software game.
