If the two options are "this app can't run on your Xbox" or "this app runs on your Xbox, but the printing functions don't work and some of the messages are a little weird", which option do you think users would prefer?
- chrisjj 3y agoBut the first option is not "this app can't run on your Xbox". It is "This app possibly cannot run after trying to print".
- Arainach 3y agoCode like this often runs during application startup. It's not just printers.
- chrisjj 3y agoThe situation is "What should happen if an app tries to print on an Xbox?". I do not believe code that tries to print often runs on app startup.
- Arainach 3y agoPrinting is one example of this pattern - there are plenty of reasons APIs end up unsupported Printing may also run on startup. Consider software for a vinyl cutter which looks for the device when beginning.
- chrisjj 3y ago> Printing is one example of this pattern Then my point stands. > Consider software for a vinyl cutter On Xbox?? Good grief.
