You need an account to develop for Xbox, Sony and Switch.

They won't all the big companies release FPS on iOS are using their own engine (EA, Activision, etc). Using Unreal Engine for a casual mobile game is like buying a Ferrari to get some groceries 2 blocks away.

OK no brick and mortar comparison. How is it different than the PS4, Xbox and Switch. They take 30% on digital and brick-and-mortar store sales.

App Store takes the same 30% as Xbox, Sony, Switch, Target, Walmart, Walgreen, etc... Purchase a console game at Walmart? Walmart takes their cut after the console creator took their cut. In fact if you think your game is gonna sell like cr

Funny cause both stores (App and Play) are always promoting games to me. Usually crap like Fortnite which stinks on any mobile device. Yes devs have to pay for those promos but just like in Steam, Retail and all the console markets you pay

I have all $1000s invested in XBox platform but I want to play on the PS4. Can I sue MS?

They don't want the warnings from Android yet don't want to put the work/money in to build their own OS, even using AOSP (Android Open Source).

Correct I don't by a Playstation and then cry that Stadia is not available for it.

Not really. After the Atari generation, Nintendo released the NES which was locked down to prevent developers from selling games without paying them first. So regardless of where you were selling your game if it ran on NES then Nintendo got

Not a legal classification.

You can also before leave Target you can pickup a vbucks card that cost Epic 30% as well.

by JiNCMG 6y ago
Plus if your game is sold in their store you have to play a percentage as well.

by JiNCMG 6y ago
Sony, MS (XBox), Nintendo, Steam and Google charge 30%.

If BestBuy made a deal to get their customers to sign up for Netflix then yes. You are BestBuy's customer and Netflix is getting access to you. If you sign up for a Target card, they get an initial cut and then monthly percentage based

Then start with the Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox and Steam stores. They take 30% off the top as well. Epic's store is only doing 12% for now as they try to catch up to the bus they missed. Wanna get a DLC? They all take a percentage. Al

You go to Target looking to buy a Walmart-brand bottle of bleach. Is that anti-competitive? Heading out but you pick up a few PC games. By the way, Target was paid to put those up on the shelf. Grab a Sony Playstation gift card. They get a

When will xCloud appear on the Nintendo Switch? A lot better to play on the switch than a mobile phone without built-in controllers.

But Intel has already threaten MS with a lawsuit if it tries to emulate x86 for its ARM products. Meanwhile when Apple switched from PowerPC to x86 part of the agreement was a share of patents which gave Intel access to the multimedia exten

Not really. There is nothing any future owner of ARM can do to cut Apple out. Which is why they are not interested in purchasing ARM themselves. They co-developed ARM6 with Acorn and VLSI. Their license allows them to build on to the ARM co

Correct, IBM didn't care to make a power efficient processor and Motorola didn't see the benefit in Multimedia extension in their processor because they needed them for their network devices. Nvidia introduced a set of laptop GPUs

Not sure what you are talking about. JS and HTML Video is as lightweight as you can get. The 3 main browsers just keep optimizing performance with JS on every release. If you need to compare Flash to something then compare it to Java Web Ap

"Flash was never good on Linux (IME)." It was never good on anything! You can half a laptop's battery by watching videos during a 30 minute break.

That is the issue... Flash was not LIGHTWEIGHT! It was an obese messed that Adobe "NEVER" managed to control. Sure the files you pass from server to client was "somewhat" light weight but the player was breathing heavier

Yes I have read an old book for historical purposes which is why I still have my K&R C book. This is like complaining that you can't get a VHS Player anymore to teach the kids MS Works with The Video Professor.

by JiNCMG 6y ago
Yes. WebGL, WASM and Canvas can handle anything that Flash is able to do. Unity is just an engine which compiles to WASM.

Except that he was 100% correct on his reasons and Adobe showed that they couldn't optimize it on any platform.

It's only been 10 years since its downfall was obvious to everyone. If any one offers it as part of their service to you then just realize how little of a crap they care about you.

Because it was not about going after Adobe or Flash. It was about the performance of the iPhone. He detailed this in his public letter to Adobe after he gave them 2 years to get it working and they failed. The letter was public because Adob

WAIT. Are you asking "real" devs or designers how could figure out some scripts using Actionscript. Huge difference. I know a few Actionscript Masters that could barely handle JS.
