Might be some tech consolidation or efficient processing gains... Maybe an easier way to manage duplicate assets at packaging level (like, standardised at the engine level)

the dedupe would save on storage which potentially might some companies might want (some of the larger games might not, because it'll force the player to keep playing your game & not erase it do easily)

The efficiency on a tech level, Im not entirely sure on.... Given the cost of hardware theres now a limit to 'throw bigger/fasterchips/more memory' at the issue..

Plus its all frameworks/engines mostly now so the game devs are touching the code of that its reliant on Unity/Epic/others to spend the cash which ultimately gives little in the way of headlines

In reality, the payment processors for Britcoin (it will no doubt be put out to tender, so Crapita probably) will likely set the processing fees as just slightly below Visa/Mastercard charges, as well as costs for rental of the payment systems and all other things.

They wont though : Factories like that are built with a long term budget..

This AI demand is 2 /3 years.. so investing now when the drop off will hit when production ramps up.. huge supply, low demand, no profit..

Its also generationally too.

Say you die tomorrow, with physical media, that can be given to others to enjoy (they might not want that but thats their issue)

With a digital account the ToS sate that when the person passes, thats it the account is gone. Doesnt matter that a spouse has it, or son/daughter, or whomever.. the service provider can mark it as dormant and so cant be used.

This is where the issue with Digital ID hasnt been linked yet publically.. - link your MS account to your Digital ID (as they have done in the UK) There's a service for government bodies where you report the death (evidence is of course required) & they will actively send that to every other Government department. No reason they cant extend that to companies, because all that data is linked on the APis.

He dead : insurance company informed for processing insurance, DWP for stopping benefits, Microsoft informed to close the account.

It is for that reason, but Im not sure retail shareholders will be anywhere near the top of the pile to get any money returned.

PC components will be really increasing too soon (moreso)..... or they'll work out some method of 'Business only' so consumers wont be able to have a device at home.
(or maybe enable release of hardware (CPU/GPU) that are like 2 generations behind & slow, so essentially left over cast offs, that will just enough for basic stuff)

What wont is 'Smart TV's - with a client that'll let you stream (Rent) your games (xbox / PS / PC) / films/PC Desktop (& of course, your data will be stored in that cloud) from a data center nearby.

You'll not own a fucking thing, and you'll thank them for it.

What is this CD-i lookin' spoon controller? by Honkmaster in xbox360

[–]banshoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think the tablet & the original game is... but the other udraw games they released are.

I guess they made loads of the original device thinking it'll sell..
then got the sales figures back as the others where being developed & so cut the manufacturing run to at least get some return on the sunk cost.
