Comment Once upon a time... (Score 1) 47

There was a time where a computer 286 cannot keep up with a Sega Master System or NES graphics and sound. Most games of such platforms were far superior than contemporary computers games, 386 (sometimes even a 486) with a few exceptions (Doom) cannot even lick the boots of a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games. That time has past. Most games today are available for both computers and consoles. Plus, emulated games made a computer a better alternative over consoles most of the time, for me at least. Yes, a console is cheaper than a PC for the same specs in the start. 10 games bought later, and you will be paying double the price of the console.

CD Project RED, Square Enix, Crytek, Ubisoft Studios(Not the publisher), Bungee, Bestheda(and ID Software), Deep silver, DICE, Valve and a multitude of other Games Studios completely disagrees with you. Unreal and Unity are used by developer houses that not have the resources or willpower to "Homegrow", as you said, their own Games Engines. In any scale of measurement the other engines are inferior, they are simply more optimized for a specific task or oriented to a specific game/purpose.

Because is more fun... And JS, Java, Python, GO and C/C++ developers have the same issues nonetheless... In most case, game developers have a slight higher paycheck than a system developer of same experience. In fact lots of game developers receive a share of sales revenues of a title (something that is way rarer in system development).

Maybe I was not clear enough (I know my English sucks). I will not stay away of Boeing aircrafts because the statistics Boeing have. I will stay away because they deliberately only acknowledge their fault after they were effectively grounded. And I do not remember any Airbus similar fault (Airbus planes are fly-by-wire) that take over pilot control.

Comment Made in Brazil? Sorry, this will not take off... (Score 0) 103

The politicians (and some not politicians too) here are corrupt beyond belief. This factory will not be open before all the bribes are paid in all chain of power. So many foreign businesses gave up because of famous "Brazil cost" (Taxes and bribes included).

Comment Re:Could we just kill blockchain-everywhere please (Score 1) 164

I completely agree!! Blockchain are great for cryptocurrencies and descentralized trading card games, but it stops there... These people are trying to use blockchain in every place. Places where other solutions are faster, better and simpler. Where control is centralized, like Identity Documents issued by countries, or places where you need be identified (exactly the opposite reason blockchain was created for), blockchain aggregate no value at all.
