    So…how long before Apple realizes that game devs are notoriously time-crunched and forcing them to target yet another proprietary graphics API is a stupid move for their gaming ambitions?

      I’m not convinced they’ll ever realize the problem with their strategy. They’ll keep half-assing it every couple of years and wondering why they don’t have a larger gaming audience.

        It’s because they’re addicted to their walled gardens. Everything within Apple’s ecosystem must be tightly overseen and controlled, with little exception.

        Yeah, they keep trying to bring their walled-garden approach to gaming and it just won’t work. It’s like trying to build another console in the current gaming market and unrealistically expecting it to take off.

        It’s also why I think the Vision Pro, despite how cool and innovative the tech might be, is also DOA.
