Kill yourself you useless, impotent retard.

Apple still doesn't offer anything that is deserving of the 5%. They are still double dipping on developers by charging them yearly fees on top of a commission of each sale, while providing nothing but hosting and distribution. The 'tools' they provide are nothing special or unique.

China's Tencent is their biggest investor, and Tencent sucks giant donkey balls.
Unreal Engine has become an over complicated, buggy piece of shit.
Epic's launcher, on the platforms is does support, performs like shit.
Fortnite is a trash game for trash people.

Literally not a straw man.

You don't even understand basic definitions.

Not really. What they implement is so heavily modified that calling it Mach is fundamentally wrong. A derivative of Mach != Mach. That is like calling Linux Mint the same as Ubuntu.

No.

No.

Avatar overrated.

I only added the enterprise exception because I can understand an IT director wanting to A) wait until after business hours are over, B) making sure all get updated at the same time, or C) making sure the security update doesn't somehow break any custom, specific software the company is dependent on.

So, more of scheduling thing rather than a choice to just not.

They don't.

Builds regularly come out for all of them. Not necessarily because a game is broken.

Nope.

Well, you either had a stroke that meant MacOS; or you're a retard referring to the old, obsolete, and quite shitty kernel that XNU is forked from, and isn't relevant, along with not understanding how to use 'etc' in a sentence. XNU != Mach.

Neither. Apps have the least privileges and permissions. And since the OS is responsible for handle focus requests, it's the OS's job to handle focus stealing. The solution will never be to give the apps more privileges, permissions, or control.

Those people are probably morons like you. Community builds of Proton are built muuuch faster and include many things Valve does not. So even if a game updates and stops working on regular Proton, Proton-GE or Proton-CachyOS will still run the game 99% of the time.

I couldn't find any recent examples. Dragon Age: Inquisition had issues with regular Proton (because of badly coded EA launcher) but could be played just fine with GE. Cyberpunk 2077 had a lot of issues in Proton, but it also had a lot of basic issues to start with regardless of platform - hard to put fixes into Proton when the game is buggy and broken in Windows. Anti-cheat software also caused a lot of issues for a while, but those have been pretty much fixed (especially Easy Anti Cheat).

Not really. Not recently.

Because you make the wrong assumptions and have gaps in your knowledge.

No. I assume 'Mach, etc' was supposed to be MacOS? Which is the only thing that would make sense. If you're this sloppy of reader and writer, I doubt you ever wrote any worthwhile code in your life.

Low profile games don't usually need the attention anyway, because they are more likely to ship Linux native builds or use more stable APIs that just already work fine in Proton.

I'm well aware of how it works. And nothing you've said has changed anything I said.

There is very little an app can do to assist the user in this. It needs to be handled at a higher level than app, like the OS.

No, they really didn't.

Not really.

Stop giving (non-enterprise) users a choice over security updates.

It's all anecdotal. And I play a wider variety of games more often than most of the community.

Only if the devs feel like it, and by the time they come around to patching the game to take advantage, Proton will have already adapted.

Nope. You sure like to assume a lot.

Did you have a stroke?

I didn't say it *never* happens ever. I said it *rarely* happens. And when it does happen, it's because either the developers of the game in question are bad at their jobs or their bosses are.

No.

Yeah, which is piss useless compared to preventing the steal, at the OS level, in the first place. Notifying that it happened is appreciated, but only like 10% useful.

My entire Steam library begs to differ. Roughly 30-40% of them don't even use DirectX to begin with. Also, games do not require patches when new versions of DirectX ship unless they want to take advantage of new features.

It's not that rare anymore. Especially with the popularity of the Steam Deck.

Platform-specific kernel extensions don't count. They aren't part of the base kernel.

No.

No.

No.

Not in this context.

Not in this context.

Yes it is.

Of which, Apple deserves nothing.

This is a problem of their own making and has many different solutions.

No. They really aren't.

What benefits exactly? Because Apple offers nothing outside of hosting and distribution.

$300 million/yr*

Fuuuuck that.

Apple already charges $100/yr solely to publish to the App Store. They have a minimum of 3 million iOS developers that must go through the App Store for distribution. Everything Apple does with the App Store costs them waaaay less than $3 million/yr. They provide nothing of value that justifies taking any kind of additional cuts. This is simply them trying to double dip (again) while providing nothing.

Yes, it is.

God you are fucking retarded. 70% of the finished compiled products are the same. Within the 70% is the kernel, which is exactly the same across the board.

No.

No.

No.

No.

They lost the user facing option and the older registry "hacks" because Microsoft hardcoded the feature to be always on.

Useless.

Already does that and is useless.
