Just mac. That used to be a flex.

After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" in c/games@lemmy.world

Exclusives doesn’t mean distribution rights.

Also gaming is coming faster to arm than apple is going to switch back to x86_64. (But still not that fast)

Hard to imagine but back in the day it wasn’t up to your operating system to distribute software. They were just a platform and you had open choice to obtain software.

Apple showcasing what their hardware and software was capable of was normal. I don’t think this was negligent but maybe naive seeing how things are run now. It was much better and we got better products and competition.

Budgie was an apple developer before with Marathon which was exclusive not because of any distribution rights but just preference for the platform.

Alas money talks.

Reading articles is over rated. Just make a comment solely based on the title. Good move.
