You mean iOS games?
- pjmlp 2y agoIt is still Metal, regardless.
- DeathArrow 2y agoBut since there are more Android phones, there are more devices supporting Vulkan than devices supporting Metal.
- pjmlp 2y agoOnly if you ignore the facts that Vulkan is only a required API since Android 10, it is an ecosystem full of buggy drivers, there are no updates, what exact version of Vulkan and extension spaghetti varies widely by phone, and only Samsung and Google Pixel phones, do actually offer a sane Vulkan experience. Everyone that wants to keep their 3D sanity keeps targeting OpenGL ES, which is exactly why Google is now doing ANGLE on top of Vulkan as means to pressure OEMs to deliver proper Vulkan drivers.
- talldayo 2y agoYou are literally comparing a bunch of gambling apps to a library of desktop gaming experiences. "It is still Metal, regardless" you say, with your mind scrolling full of Zynga dice-rolling games and Supercell micro-transaction machines.
- pjmlp 2y agoI am comparing what brings money home, big boys club money, versus hippie feel good complaints.
- talldayo 2y agoI am comparing where the quality titles live. I (and most people who have the freedom of choosing) do not even pay a second thought to those shitty mobile casino apps. Crazy stuff like that happens, when you have access to quality entertainment and not drip-feed gatcha games.
- pjmlp 2y agoYeah, they would rather spend their money on Playstation, Nintendo and Microsoft consoles, also no Vulkan.
