Their operations division is responsible for 9,000 different install scripts for their employees around the world. One of the tidbits of information they shared with us is some numbers about the programs they have to support. > Representatives from the IT department of a major worldwide corporation came to Redmond and took time out of their busy schedule to give a talk on how their operations are set up. Raymond Chen posted this in 2006 - "On the importance of backwards compatibility for large corporations" It's worth considering the different markets here. Just the fact that there are over a half dozen ways to represent a string in Windows has led to security vulnerabilities, not to mention all of the other legacy cruft.

Not being willing to drop legacy code comes with its own costs in maintenance and increases the vulnerability surface.

The only companies making real money in computer software are Microsoft and Adobe and even they are pivoting more toward browser based software and mobile.ĭo you think that Apple should still bundle a PPC emulator with modern Macs? A 68K emulator? There is no energy or investments going into desktop computers besides games and even that market is small. If you are “building your software” for desktop PCs (or Macs), you’re building on top of market that is becoming less important every year. MS being so concerned with backwards compatibility has slowed down its ability to move fast into new markets even compared to Google. It’s generating too little new information of interest to me.Īnd how much has it cost Microsoft? Apple was able to successfully take the base of MacOS and port it’s operating system to a much lower spec phone back in 2007 and came to dominate the smart phone market (in profit they only thing that matters), the tablet market where MS failed repeatedly, not to mention it was able to port the base OS to everything from Watches and TV set top boxes - all things that Microsoft tried and failed at.
I am done spending on the business friendly view of what my hobby should look like. Other than prettier graphics, there’s been little interesting going on, especially in the AAA space.Įven much of the indie scene is nostalgia dripping pixel graphics and same old design. Like you said the major interest in a game is at launch, there’s not the same long lived community building the games used to have. Way more engaging than yet another “Skyrim clone with tits” or COD 19: Farting Dust
I’m having more fun imagining and building it, I don’t even care if I finish it. Currently working on a system to have a chat bot feed NPCs dialog, as an experiment in “never ending” story building. I have one passion project which is a mix of isometric graphics, kotor group based single player, a “neverending” procedural world.
Currently able to quickly cut and paste together a variety of experiments in my editor, play a bit to feed my urge for novelty, and happily save money not buying them. Personally to avoid the problem on any platform, I took to making my own pipeline for rapidly iterating on games. This happens on PC too but it attracts so much more development we don’t notice.
