| Topic | Which company made the biggest impact in the gaming industry? |
| foolm0r0n 04/26/24 2:14:55 PM #48: | I was a bit too young for that. But what's funny now is that we're largely back to OpenGL, due to cross-platform graphics frameworks that can export to OpenGL, Vulkan, and DX. Valve helped that a ton by focusing on Linux gaming.
It's hard to judge because MS was first to deliver these impactful technologies, but they weren't the only ones doing them. So without MS, the tech would definitely have still happened, though maybe a bit slower. You could then argue MS isn't really deserving of the credit. They were just really good at taking credit with their "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy. Windows, DirectX, and their internet services all fall under that. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard! |
