I put it to you that VR and AR are not going to be general purpose, at least not in our lifetime. I even doubt there will even be a significant niche for either technology as they remain at best a novelty and at worst an expensive gimmick.

Huge compared to selling phones? No. That's not the case for the App Store or Google Play. Hell even selling physical media can't compete with what Apple makes in hardware. Just look at Sony.

This is actually an old accusation of Nintendo going back to the original NES and it's cartridges. The truth then (and likey today) was that demand is hard to calculate and supply costs money. Nintendo I'm sure greatly underestima

I was under the impression the point of WebAssembly is to do asm.js better.

Actually that was just plain JS and they moved to TypeScript later on in its life. It would be nice if Adobe ported the Flash Player and/or AIR to asm.js or WebAssembly.

So it's basically a tiny module with low specs (4MB RAM) with some cardboard as a case. This just makes me long for when they finally make smartwatches the can replace phones.

In addition to all the points people brought up there is the problem of having a browser block ads without getting banned ("This site will not work with Edge") by the vast majority sites that rely on ads. Edge doesn't have en

"Rather than building on stronger IP like Crysis, Timesplitters or Ryse, Crytek has tried its luck with VR and free to play projects, which aren’t paying the bills." I wonder what costed them the most resources VR or Free-to-play

The way I see it it's properly insuring that the site can be used in ways that the programmer might not predict even after it's grown to billions of lines of code and/or has been abandoned. (See http://www.warnerbr

That's all well and good but what would you have us do? Move all web app development over to the Flash Player and disable JavaScript (and JS APIs) in browsers? We have to reduce the attack surface somehow. Oh, and guess what? We now ha

I'm not dismissing the games. Not every game has to have a rich world. But there is a obvious change in the level of work they put into rich new content compared to their NES/SNES days. What happened? Who knows. But it's defi

This is very true. There are very few new game series from Nintendo with rich worlds in them. Wii Sports is just Miis put into sports settings. Splatoon is just generic looking characters put into different arenas. Animal Crossing is avatar

I had that problem with my Moto G 4G. Found out that it wasn't the 1G of RAM causing this issue but the firmware. This was fixed in an update and seemingly broken again in another update.

I think you're confusing EdgeHTML with ChakraCore.
