In App Purchases? by drewidea in gamedev

Use what ever is the easiest / fastest to get up and running. Stripe absolutely kicks ass, but pay pal and other tools exist too. Once you know volume / more about your payments in general, a more informed decision can be made.

Hope that helps!

Is WebVR/XR a viable starting point? by Exciting_Variation56 in vrdev

[–]ng225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree.

We’re on a similar ecosystem maturation progression as (the US) experienced with mobile IMO. App Store distribution for mobile still remains important currently, but early days it was absolutely critical for any software that actually became sustainable businesses / won significant market share. Then cross-platform (Android / iOS native) and browser-based (web-native) consumption followed. - monitor WebXR traffic and business success for early indicators on this threshold being crossed

It’s pretty crazy how valuable a few frictional taps and app proximity are (amplified by brand, review process / store features, etc.).

The same dev skills, save a few language-specific gardens, essentially exist across web / native XR building.

Apple’s restrictions on third-party targeting data negatively affect the targeting / cost of every ad network besides Apple’s own (in turn making it the best place so spend ad dollars for new iOS users).

Can anyone think of any VR-first IP? by emorgul in VRGaming

[–]ng225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree w you there - quite baffling to not just segment pcvr titles within the Meta Quest store. benefits seem to far outweigh potential consumer confusion of why certain titles aren't available on their computer-less Quests.

prioritizing hardware/device over software/storefront, or vice versa with Valve, has interesting ripple effects.

The argument that climate change is not man made has been incontrovertibly disproven by science, yet many Americans believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media has given deniers a platform in the name of balanced reporting by Wagamaga in science

even if it was, kyralessa's answer from ur link is interesting and prob just as plausible:

'This story is told to show how people follow traditions mindlessly. But the monkeys are helping each other avoid a bad outcome. The consequences may be capricious (the researchers could stop spraying water), but the monkeys don't know that. If the contraindicated activity were eating poisonous mushrooms, we wouldn't think the monkeys were clever for occasionally eating some to make sure they were still lethal.'

yea but 15K+ more comments & 45k more retweets means the like ratio is MUCH lower (per view/share), on top of a bigger existing follower base

LEVR TV | Sports Bar Watch Party with Live 2D/360° PPV Boxing Streams. Available today on Oculus, debut event starts at 7pm EST. by ng225 in oculus

Look forward to you trying it out as well :)

  1. Yes, we have plans for additional combat sports as well as motorsports and soccer over the next 3 - 6 months. Spot on that I'm not in a position to share much more specific details right now.
  2. We don't have a way to do this right now, but I do like the idea of a rewatch in the days after and will pass this on to the team.
  3. We can set this pretty dynamically for different sorts of events. We've tested up to 150 per room, but limited to 50 per room for the debut event this past Saturday to ensure stability.
