Most game devs -- I'd say even most devs in grown-up, professional shops -- use p4.
Hence why I said "realistically, perforce or other solutions appear to be even more popular among that particular developer segment." My comment you quoted was comparing the popularity of Mercurial to Git, not p4.
Also, I'd disagree with your assertion regarding "most devs in grown-up, professional shops". Microsoft's SourceSafe has a large following among the corporate world. And many of the largest tech companies I'm aware of don't use p4 primarily; they use git, mercurial, svn, cvs, SourceSafe, home-grown solutions, etc.
- voltagex_ 13y agoAre that many people really using SourceSafe still? TFS is now Microsoft's preferred solution, although I don't know what they use internally.
- binarycrusader 13y agoYou're right; I had forgotten about TFS.
- taspeotis 13y agoDisclaimer: I'm not a Microsoftie, just collecting some links and adding my own opinion. Microsoft use TFS heavily [1]. Right now I imagine most MS projects are TFS but it doesn't appear to be mandated. Maybe for the big, internal-only stuff. ASP.NET is hosted on CodePlex as a Git repo [2] and MEF is Hg [3]. They've just added Git support to TFS and that probably means a lot of MS projects will migrate to Git over time.
