Apple doesn't care about gamers, so gamers shouldn't care about Apple.
- pjmlp 1y agoApple does surely care about gamers, people keep forgetting about iDevices. "- Mobile games generated $81 billion revenue in 2023 across both platforms - iOS was responsible for $47.7 billion of that revenue, Google Play generated $33.3 billion - Mobile was responsible for 49% of total game revenues, close to PC and console totals combined" https://www.businessofapps.com/data/mobile-games-revenue/ https://www.businessofapps.com/data/mobile-games-revenue/
- shmerl 1y agoNo, they care about telling gamers what they should do, not about enabling gamers what they want to play. That's very much not the same thing. That's a general thing with Apple - they act as if they know better than the user what user needs and they force it on their user base. Someone keeps forgetting they literally dropped OpenGL and 32-bit support, making a lot of existing games on their own systems unplayable. Not supporting Vulkan is just another example of the above.
