I wish I could side with one of the parties in this case but it's too complicated, too fucked up. Epic would be perfectly happy with a big-boy exemption for Fortnite that the "little devs" (who actually might be hurt by the 3

Steve Jobs once said about Microsoft that their only problem is that they have no taste. And it's decisions like this that illustrate what he meant. TikTok is such a clash with everything Microsoft stands for as a company (if there i

So how fast will this be compared to native? As I understand, it's not "emulation" but something more low level?
