You should tell them that, they must not be aware considering all the APIs they pass over and platforms they avoid.
- pjmlp 3y agoExactly because of my past history with the games industry 20 years ago, and some contacts I still have, I know much better than random HN commenter ranting about why studios don't care. Food for thought, not even the studios targeting Android/NDK care about GNU/Linux, despite both platforms having the same 3D, audio and device API relevant for games. It isn't the APIs that make them not care about GNU/Linux.
- smoldesu 3y agoTotally, duly noted. Do try out Digital Combat Simulator when Mac figures out the whole DirectX thing though, it's a must-see on recent machines. Ciao!
