Bevy is the de-facto Rust game engine already; by any possible metric, it's at least 10x as present as any other engine. The big question is if Rust (and its engines) will be a viable/convenient platform for commercial gaming or n

I think this is a common feature (set) of modern game engines. Unity and Godot do support 2d games development, so Fyrox, attempting to be a competitor in that space, supports it as well. It's definitely going to take a lot of work, bu

Fake buttons definitely can initiate the download of an executable file pretending it's a movie; there's nothing unusual (tech-wise) with it. Once in while, I do experience them. There are countermeasures in place by some browsers

Nothing fancy: - local file (media) sharing - VPN client - torrent client - slow file download I plan to make it an automated build server. In the past, it was also an access point.

DRM problems are very different depending on the medium. I do buy many games, mainstream and not, and actually play them. In the big picture, DRM is not as not as bad as depicted; the vast majority of games rely only on Steam DRM, which isn

Not sure this is an effective strategy (but who knows, it may work in some cases). As a dev who's been on the hiring side, it's very easy to spot people who adopt this strategy (where devs even define themselves as CEOs/CTOs.
