   Hey pc! Fellow startup founder here - we're creating a decentralized metaverse platform in WebGL, and I'm thinking this would be perfect as a easy-to-use payment system for creators and indie game devs to take payments in our ecos

   The question is - will they take the same approach that they use in streaming video? That is, to say, original content produced en-masse and delivered via a monthly bundled subscription, all beamed to the end user as video pixels...

    Apple is scared shitless of PWA's, they know it will eat a chunk of their precious App Store revenue were they to be fully capable on iOS and not crippled... they need to allow push notifications, ship full support for WebGL2 without h

    Had Google been willing to invest in some next gen "cloud only" titles, we could have seen something truly magical. Imagine a WW2 game with thousands and thousands of concurrent players, or a real time 3D life Sim where people cou

    As far as I know, they are one of the few video game compression companies out there. Undoubtedly this is amazing news for Unreal Engine 4 devs, but for those not using the engine this is going to be a bit of a blow. On the plus side, this
