Games could be prep for programming, but not for most of the very few who realize "Games are programs... I could write them, too".
Most of them will still lack logic, critical thinking, and math skills necessary for even most basic programming, let alone the often complex tasks required in modern games. Let's face it, we're not talking about simple games, we're talking about FPS games. Say "rendering engine", "frame buffer", "shader", or "vector" to them, and their eyes glaze over in sudden confusion and disinterest. The games they'd want to make don't give an accurate impression of what it takes to produce them, and the video card specs they obsess over are just numbers to them. Aside from that, there are many distinct roles involved with producing a game, which they could realize if they ever bothered to look at the game's credits.
Sure, there are "game programming" degrees available, but to me they sound pretty crap, with more focus on visuals than code. I know someone who got that degree from DeVry, and they didn't cover threading or networking. He came out as more of a digital artist than a programmer.
Did you look at my UID?
And its comments. In the past few months there has been a dramatic rise in AC shitpost comments. Not the usual
I also wonder if there is anyone left at

Why don't they call themselves masculists?
Because Facebook.
But HTML5 treats XHTML syntax as a resented stepchild because WHATWG hates XML so much. All the sloppy markup that the rest of the spec advocates should be treated that way instead.
Corrollary: There are two ways a computer is used: As a tool, and as an appliance.
That would also infer that Win10 is built on a BSD-like kernel.
Um.... Half-Life 3 confirmed?
I think you've figured out why they're doing this.
While IE (and now Edge) "aren't" part of the OS, they are tightly integrated. A Windows rolling release is the only way they could think of to make browser releases more often than annually and closer to every 5ms like everyone else.
FF on my laptop is still on 29 because every time I upgrade it another theme or add-on I rely on breaks.
And in true MS fashion, they're convinced they can milk the app store cash cow whether or not there are any apps in it.
Just WordPress developers. No, I take that back... WP devs are so shit that they wouldn't recognize any hack.
What I'm reading is that MS has all but given up on Windows as a mobile development platform for the sake of being able to run Android/iOS apps.
It also serves as a tacit acknowledgment that MS isn't connecting with mobile developers, and that mobile apps drive mobile platforms.
ESPN is by far the most expensive channel block... every subscriber pays about $5/month for ESPN, whether or not they watch any sports.
Bundling is what keeps most channels alive, via bundling subsidy. Anything that even remotely represents a la carte will be fought by the content providers.
I don't necessarily want notifications on my wrist.... all I want is a customizable color digital screen on my wrist.
