Apple goes to war with Xbox gaming industry

"Really, my message is an old message for a new industry: Make love games, not war games.

"And, maybe, in 5000 years, half of the games will be about war. And half about love." [/quote]

Surely, he jokes?

Post back and let us know how that goes and we'll go from there.

[quote user="dudeskis01"]i think the past supports my concerns. the last time we didnt have healthy competition the industry almost died. it was only saved by the nes.[/quote]And what happened after Atari single handedly almost
killed an Industry? It prospered at a growth almost unprecedented.

The same thing happened many times even with smaller effects changing the Industry. NES and Master were getting stale and complacent and NEC came along with PC Engine (aka TG16). This forced the SNES and Genesis and the beginning of the 16bit era. Again both
Neo Geo and 3DO made Consoles that would destroy in terms of raw power but died off in the ever changing world of Gaming. It goes on and on.

The Gaming Market or Industry is not as fragile as many want others to believe. It does not also solely rest on the shoulders of MS and Sony. It might even need a little shake up every now and then. Who knows, MS fails and Samsung of all people come into the
game. Maybe Sony fails and Apple decides to try their hand again. There's plenty of Companies with Capital, just because they don't participate in the Gaming Industry now doesn't mean they will never try. Don't be shocked in the future when EXXON has a Gaming
Console.

No as mentioned apple controls their desktops apps and portable apps tightly

Only app allowed to circumvent apple gaming is steam and only because apple needs steam to increase marketshare even then it's doesn't increase their games by much due to the way apple hardware and os is

Not to mention apple uses different development system

Apple is less then 20% of the desktop market developers won't make many games for such a small market

The games would have to be remade due to the CPU and os this applies to the apps too epic is still banned on Apple devices

Mobile games that make up a bigger share plus have better earning potential due to micro transactions you can't do that on desktop apps

Other then steam apple demands everything goes thru Apple billing services and considering apple also charges 30% developers ontop of that how likely do you think developers make games when they have to pay xbox 30% plus apple 30% on a limited market as it's the market rates

Very few times those can be negotiated down for example steam

This is why developers make games directly for the os intended

I would love to see a World War 2 game again, right now the industry thinks near future/future themed games are the big thing now.
