This is nowhere near reality.

Even if you could just "translate" code from one language to another, that ignores asset pipelines, asset store libraries, and all the build pipelines that allow you to ship cross-platform.

You also need to now train your entire dev team on a new tech stack.

Switching engines is an enormous effort

AAA studios were used to having local build farms, in-person build-review sessions, and testers being in the same physical space so engineers could see what's going on. They have collections of unreleased hardware that need to be distributed and secured.

It's not simple to completely overhaul a setup like that and go full remote. You're moving 100s of GB a day to each dev and trying to change every one of your processes.

Every AAA engineer I know complained about how how slow everything was remote. Studios are figuring that shit out now, but I don't think "hurr durr Todd Howard old" is really accurate or adding anything to the conversation here

This article is literally about how they tested 25 brands and zero of them passed privacy review.

VS for Mac was really just a renamed Xamarin Studio too.

Two months, but either way "better than Facebook" is a pretty shitty way to respond to criticism. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/robotaxi-haters-in-san-francisco-are-disabling-waymo-cruise-traffic-cones/

Yes.

But there's also a demo that lets you play the first few hours and it'll quickly let you know whether it's for you or not

FTA

All 50 states require commercial insurance for drivers to earn money with a ride-hailing service. Uber maintains commercial auto insurance for drivers — including at least $1 million of liability coverage once a ride is accepted. Personal auto insurance typically doesn’t cover activity on ride-hailing apps.

It's at the bottom of the hamburger menu for me, sometimes those options seem to move around.

On the mobile website, Feeds > Friends seems to get rid of the suggested posts and also appears to be chronological.

There's probably the same option on the website

I take the bus to work every day. It's a set route for my set work schedule and it's great.

But everything else I do in my life? Not on a bus route, schedules are slow on the weekend or stop completely after a certain time.

When you come up with a bus that goes wherever I want to go when I want, I'm in. Until then, a car that doesn't require a driver and is easily shared between many people to take them the last mile is an actual solution.

Zero risk difference only after you've hit 50. The areas have different minimum levels, so if you made a new character and wandered into hawezar, you'll have level 40 mobs around.

All altar and map progress is saved to your account starting yesterday, not until yesterday.

And all progress from any character you log in with will be transferred to your account. So it doesn't matter which order you sign in with.
