If JS and Node will eat enterprise I might as well move into .NET game programming :).

- bananas 13y agoThat will never happen. Then again the NHS here in the UK just rewrote a ton of stuff in RabbitMQ, Riak and Erlang from Oracle...
- kevingadd 13y agoSorry to break it to you, but .NET has been devouring game programming for years. Unity uses it extensively, XNA was until recently a big choice for indie development, MonoGame is growing, etc...
- npizzolato 13y agoI still don't understand why XNA was discontinued. Is there a suitable replacement for creating games rather easily in C#?
- _random_ 13y agoMonoGame is meant to be an OSS XNA replacement. It's very good for indies with good programming skills. Fez and Bastion were implemented using XNA/MonoGame. If one is more of a game-designer/scripter or is business-oriented then Unity3d is also a good choice.
- Guvante 13y agoCompletely anecdotal, but I would bet it was due to difficulty getting returns from the program. DirectX itself helps sell licenses of Windows, but XNA not so much due to only impacting indie games.
- Locke1689 13y agoUnity maybe, but honestly no.
- gebe 13y agoMonoGame mirrors XNA down to the namespace names so that's a very suitable replacement. You also have Unity of course.
- wtetzner 13y agoI think the "never gonna happen" was about JS and Node taking over the enterprise.
- lern_too_spel 13y agoHe didn't say anything about the suitability of .NET for game programming. His post was entirely about enterprise programming.
