I think it's interesting to consider games that took off so wildly they literally killed/stifled the genre. Has anything similar matched World of Warcraft? It was a cultural phenomena when it launched and so many big studios tried

So many technologies Apple has launched in the past 5 years seemed nifty & weird but were all being built to lead up to this: - Spatial Audio - Is any one a huge fan of this? It doesn't matter a ton outside of AR but matters greatl

They didn’t become such a wealthy group by letting competition foster. I have no doubt they believe they could be doing the right thing but I also have no doubt they don’t want other people making the rules. Truth be told, who else really d

Ok, sure, but surely you see how it is that much harder to do? Also since Apple is built around selling expensive devices and services you could also see why they’d have much less incentive to spy and collect data than, say, Google or Faceb
