I hope they replicate the high level of product quality that Blizzard was shipping from 1995 to 2012 but not the thing where they're infamous in the game industry for underpaying people.

valve.com states that its estimated worth is $500k-$750k so presumably valve just doesn't care to buy it, that amount of money is peanuts to them.

agree on mobas (I was one of the devs on dotabuff for a year and think LoL ... has many opportunities for improvement) but ... try Valorant, it's imho much, much more interesting than cs:go or overwatch. It's a brilliant game.

the setup to your question is flawed, since you're starting from the perspective that someone should be on one side or the other. Epic is suing on multiple points, and there are probably very few people that agree with Epic on every

tim sweeney sent an email to tim cook and other apple execs telling them in advance that he was going to violate the contract and that he would fight them for years if necessary. so, no, it's not biased to call it blatant, they were ex

do you actually need to download unreal engine from the app store to build unreal engine games on ios or do gamedevs download the unreal engine tools and sdks on a desktop and then compile their games for ios from the desktop and sign them

a quick grep on my project and I'm counting 779 functions. the empty interface appears in 12 of the 779 function signatures. If you find yourself constantly using the empty interface it's because you don't know the language,

let's say you want to permit gambling, because people should be free to gamble. Even in the case of permitting it, there are still legitimate reasons to have regulatory systems. For example, if you go to a casino to play craps, you as

sure but like, you don't have that expectation of a browser, right? Like to write a web page, you don't create an instance of an HTML parser and call a parse method on some text, and then walk the tree and tell it to draw each ele

the old tutorials were better. Roll-a-Ball is still the best intro. honestly just think of the scene as being analogous to a browser DOM and learn which methods the game engine invokes on the objects and in which order. That's describe

try using networking in Unity sometime. UNet has been deprecated for years and the replacement is still officially experimental. The networking situation is pretty bad in Unity at the moment.

statements like this really need to be put into context. Maybe that's true for his games, but it's not necessarily true for all games. His latest game, The Witness, is a first-person puzzle game with zero non-player characters, no

ah, perfect. yeah this is what I had in my head: taking the word list and making a big trie and walking it as I read the input. I figured there was some prior art here but was struggling to google it. thanks!
