Multiple outlets are reporting that Apple is working on a smartwatch, which might be in stores by the end of the year. Between the Pebble smartphone, the "iWatch" and Google Glass, wearable computers seem to be the next wave of personal technology, which leaves us with one question:
"What kind of games can you play on a watch?"
The saga of the legal battle that sees Epic Games fight Apple in the attempt to bring Fortnite back to iOS has just gained another chapter.
Tetris returns in Winter 2024.
Hopefully they’ll add Tetris DX from Gameboy Color. That’s one of my favorite versions of classic Tetris. The NES version is a bit too basic.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney notes that the mobile gaming industry is "largely broken," and blames the 30% tax levied by Apple and Google.
Man has been saying this for ages and knows full well the only thing he wants is more money at Apple and Google's expense and absolutely none of this will result in lower prices for the consumer.
He expects the digital equivalent of opening up his own store inside of a Walmart or Target. It's absurd.
And he feels absolutely entitled to it, in a too-big-to-fail sense - because Unreal Engine is used by so many developers, banning Epic would hurt those developers relying on their tech, which would be super unfair to the developers.
Thank goodness you are there to defend the small guys Google and Apple. You're so brave, Christopher!
Yeah, I'm totally defending Apple and Google and not explaining how another company is just as greedy. That's the big takeaway from my comment, Apple and Google good, only Epic bad. Yup. I totally didn't make it about the fact that this man just wants more money and isn't doing it for the consumers. Nope. Not that at all. I'm just praising up Big Tech. They're my one and only love in life. Please recognize me Big Tech Senpai!
The epic games store charges a 12% tax and has been losing money for 5 years...that sounds dysfunctional.
It's a play to attempt to win over the market so they can then realign pricing with what Steam has in the long run. The problem is they are doing only that and not actually building a better software supported platform on PC. Essentially, they're throwing money at the problem, not actually trying to compete by providing better service.
