Well in the case of the game we were working on there was no choice other than fork our codebase. No considering the controllers (which is different enough from the consoles) the frame rate of our code base was awfully slow on IOS, so we ha

Yeah but we are talking here about massive multi-platform games and Infinity Blade was specially tailored for IOS. In practice, to use Unreal in a game that would run on consoles and mobile devices, you have to fork your code and made a lot

Sorry but I still don't understand why deleting that picture is such big deal? Google has the right to build their community with the rules that they want and the people eager to accept those rules. Mr Sieger has also the right to complain

It's interesting the different trends among browser versions. For Chrome when a new version comes out the previous one die almost immediately but IE users tend to keep their version for a long time. As a web developer I hate that :(

And I would add that their fraud methods don't work either. My account was emptied in several fraud transactions and for the number of transaction and the amount you could see very clear that they were guessing my paypal balance. For exampl
