Uh, Unity and Unreal do Mac builds quite easily. Most indies use those. These engines take care of Metal, and Mac support. Godot also does fine, to my knowledge.

The AAA games that have been announced and brought over during recent years have actually often been games that don’t use those two engines. Indies use those two engines a lot, though.

If you just mean buying the hardware is expensive. Then I guess you have a point. But the Mac Mini is capable of finishing off the Mac details on Unity and Unreal games just fine.

I’m not saying everything is perfect. But it’s all progressively getting better.

Edit: I should mention that the code signing situation is a big bummer. Something should be done to make that easier and any fees a one time thing.

I’m mean, in this case it’s just objective reality. 😅

Cyberpunk was just announced.

It seems Apple is making a run at this again. And they have all the pieces this time. And the industry is very mature, and the tech landscape has become rather flat across consoles and PCs.

The PC world as a whole is now seriously eyeing ARM as their base too.

The Switch is already ARM, and very successful. With a follow up that will be the same architecture.

Now’s the time if there ever was one.

Ironically, no.

lol, in the example promo photo the third very expensive monitor is used to show a flyer promoting the music creation event being depicted. Great use case.

SpongeBob meme of SpongeBob showing Patrick open standards. The second to last panel shows JPEGXL.

But yeah, they really dropped the ball on OpenGL and then Vulkan. I remember when OpenGL was new and Apple was a huge proponent. Quake III was on Mac OS first because of it, etc etc.

I’m a Mac fan. But this has even me going “but y tho?”

Of course it’s “because I could” and “it’s a fun challenge.”

I cringe every time I see someone like this say “to oblivion.”

Really? Is that really necessary? Why so consistently specific?

I mean, this is an Apple oriented community. If community on community “violence” is cool here, I guess that’s the issue. 😅

Lemmy is a weird place. Lots of drive by downvotes. (Sorry for the meta comment)

Owch…

Interesting, thanks for noting that. I wouldn’t have guessed it was unique in the US. I woulda guessed the US was catching up.

This. And the reason the hearing aid stuff is even happening is due to rule changes that happened in (I think) the last 4 years. They loosened up definitions and requirements in light of the current tech landscape.

I read this in Trump’s debate voice.

do Tim Pool next. And take his hat.

I don’t know if it’s valid to do, but some people swear by using them at concerts.

Bluetooth, and Bluetooth headphones have been around for a long time.

At one point the Apple TV was bigger than the current Mini IIRC.

Wow, that’s a great way for platforms to reinforce bubbles.
