- Comment on Unity is eliminating 265 jobs and terminating Weta FX partnership 11 months ago:
While Epic has been pouring money from Fortnite into Unreal Engine and making significant progress in updating the engine.
Unity has been sitting on its ass for years doing absolutely nothing in the way of R&D.
As a result, Unity is now left behind.
Valve has given up on being an Engine developer.
Epic with the Unreal Engine will have a monopoly soon if it doesn't already.
Anyone attempting to make their own modern game engine these days are way behind the ball. All the big players are switching to Unreal.
And it's not only Game Engine, but movie making engine as well.
The only company I could see that would have the $$$ and talent to compete against Epic for a Graphics Engine would be nVidia.
AMD doesn't have the R&D and Scientists specializing in Graphics/Physics/Rendering/Simulation/InformationLoading like nVidia does.
Valve has the $$$ and talent, but they are focused on hardware now, and are even farther behind than Unity.Having a single Game Engine monopoly will be bad for all of us in the end.

- Comment on [News] EA expanding EA Anti-Cheat - bad news for Steam Deck / Linux 1 year ago:
More work needs to be on the server side.
A ton of cheating can be stopped dead in it's tracks if you spend some time filtering out data being sent to the clients, that have no business knowing about.
