How Steve Jobs is affecting gaming

Apple's co-founder and ex-CEO Steve Jobs passed away last Wednesday of pancreatic cancer. This tragic event has caused a lot of mourning around the world, and mainly through the Apple community. Steve Jobs was one of his generation's greatest visionaries, and was (arguably) responsible for why we are so technologically far ahead as we are. Steve formed a team that would go on to revolutionize the way we used personal computers, the way we listen to music, the way we use a phone, and many other reasons caused by how Apple has changed things.

Shouldn't it be was not is?

That's what I thought as well when I was posting this article, but if you think about it, ideas that he had 10 years ago could be in play in 5 years and they could still effect us. I decided that "is" was a much better title, because the iPhone or iPad aren't dying with him, they're still here, changing industries that they touch.

FragGen4582d ago

Steve Jobs is dead.
I've been dying a lot in Dark Souls.
Coincidence?
I think not.

Enigma_20994582d ago

Tragic, but if this was remotely true, don't you think people would have been pushing this point while he was still alive?

And how about that iPhone debacle?

Burning_Finger4582d ago

People should stop mentioning his name. Let him rest in peace.

HarryKawk4582d ago

He isn't Voldemort. I bring my Grandpa up all the time and I'm sure it isn't making him turn in his grave. Or in his urn? You get my point.

MasterCornholio4582d ago

yep he won the casual market away from Nintendo due to the cheap smartphone games. But other than that he hasn't done anything. In my opinion.

I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.

An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

Wasn't there some KFC console, or am I mistaken?

Why Epic's Win Against Apple And Google Paves The Way For The Future Of Mobile Gaming

Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.

shinoff218344d ago

I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.

AlterRecs43d ago

tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.
