this guy is arguing for inclusivity in games and they don't even know it
It was Microsoft's decision to not include Google Play Services
100% Google decision, as they would need to do a special exception for licensing in an emulator, because:
It doesn't pass the compatibility test suite
It doesn't show "android" during the boot
Those two terms are set in stone by Google as a rule for having play services
microsoft could have done both of those things to get compliance with the licence, just like everyone else has ensured. they choose not to
How scammy can they really be if all lawsuits were dropped after, just a few months?
Literally means nothing, maybe they threatened counter suits? Maybe they have 10x the lawyer runway and made that clear
I get you but what is the alternative? If I'm a small business owner and I hire 2 people and 3 months later I realize I didn't have enough work for them... I'd be like shit I'm sorry guys but I don't have work for you. Here's one last paycheck as an apology and I've gotta let you go.
They have the work, they are firing people to get their stock price to go up. You can not equate giant companies like this with small companies.
Agreed. But it shouldn't be something that takes more work, it should be a matter of reusing existing code
I never code the same thing twice unless it's only a few lines of code that's faster to write than to find the old copy
I've literally reused code from over a decade ago, in a different language. I ported my code from VB6 for windows, to lua for the PlayDate
I think you'll find that barebones verilog doesn't work quite like that, also there is quite literally nothing to port from.
I know you are thinking it's just hdmi and a framebuffer, but it isn't. analogue dacs recreate the original experience as closely as possible, that means that - for example - the megasg will output analogue video just as the original mega-drive will.
this is great because it ensures compatibility with physical hardware, but it also means it's not a case of just send the framebuffer to the dac.
so they literally have to make new code to deal with the new platforms, as well as support a mechanism for cores to act in the same way.
also there is quite literally nothing to port from
the previous code they used on other systems would be what you port from
the previous systems do not have code for the gameboy, gameboy colour, gameboy advance or for almost all cores
please see what i wrote about how it's not just a framebuffer. please read more than one sentence.

do be aware that the rest of the world thinks you guys are weirdos, weirdos fixated on one person like this. it's so weird.
it's seriously so weird, like just take a step back for a moment and look at the situation. maybe you shouldn't dedicate yourself to this one weird thing.
When Huawei did this it was bad, but now it's just ok cause it's computational photography or whatever. Computational photography doesn't mean adding things the camera never saw.
If ai is involved then that is exactly what it means, 100% of the time. That's what ai does.
