"design by committee" approach that large studios are using
They don't have to use that.
This kind of game can only exist as a solo or very small team project.
That's just very clearly wrong.
You can not generate the kind of money that large publishers and studios need to survive with little Indie games.
Wrong again. If anything, only large publishers can lose the kinds of money that they sometimes do.
So you can activate a window without first having to find a free space in the UI to click on (especially if it partially overlaps)
That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren't. There's no need to "focus" the window.
What need?
The need to focus on the window before clicking?
Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?
I don't understand the question. All of them.
drag and drop tile actions always work
No. It doesn't. I'm beginning to think you've never used a Mac.
Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?
I can't. Because it's completely inconsistent and I have no idea why or how.
Whichever one you install it on.
What do you do with all your music, pictures, addons, portable software?
I sync them to a NAS using Syncthing. Not just when switching but always. Already saved my ass several times.
Balatro is...not something big studios could even possibly replicate
...and why not?
What would be the point of a big studio trying to make a game that one developer can pull off?
...money?
They're simply drawing all the wrong conclusions here:
even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.
The layoffs don't mean the game or company were unsuccessful, it means they found other ways to eliminate those jobs.
Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad
That's nothing to do with graphical fidelity, it was a shit game that followed up a shit movie.
Sony closed the studio behind Concord
Lots of potential reasons for this. If you ask me, they released a $30 game into a genre chock full of "free to play" games.
Personally I appreciate "cinematic" games but titles like Balatro and Stardew Valley (neither of which I own) are proof of the simple fact that making games that are actually fun to play is far far more important, and far more profitable.
That won’t make much of a dent in climate change.
It makes a massive difference. Think about how much food and other products a single person consumes in their lifetime. All of that is gone if they're never born.
The main cause of climate change is pollution on a massive scale by corporations.
They don't pollute just for the fun of it, they pollute to make products to sell to consumers. No consumers = no pollution.
Wow, what an arrogant twat. Let's tackle these stupid criticisms 1 by 1:
You don't switch monitors, you switch windows.
Well, theoretically yes. On a Mac, no.
It's like that so you can click anywhere in a window to focus it without activating something in the window by accident.
Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?
You can close windows with the red window button
No you can't. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.
You can absolutely drag and drop to tile windows
Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.
and there are also keyboard shortcuts for it
Well that sounds like a problem, wouldn't you say?
Who said anything about any of that?
Are you under the impression that Nazis are the only people in human history to invade other countries?
Yeah I did exactly that. It just needs an update afterwards.
