If there's any upside to the entire situation, it's that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

I always care about how much memory I end up using.
Problem is, most places won't pay for caring about that. Those that would, are doing so because they are using the product on their own systems instead of some customer's systems.

I think we will first see a batch of alternative apps, which either will get shut down by manufacturers etc., or get tolerated as an alternative.

I'm not sure I know many Electron apps that are worth running.
There is WhatsApp, but I just run the browser version. For Matrix, there's NeoChat, which uses QML and is definitely better than Electron.

Best I can do is mandatory Lumen and Nanite. You can get almost-stable 60 fps on a 5090 with DLSS Performance and 3x frame gen, which should be optimized enough for anyone.

My game will sell for 80 bucks, 150 if you want the edition with all the preorder-exclusive content.

180 if you want to play before the day one patch that makes sure you’re can even finish the game.

Or you can wait two weeks and get it for 10 because the reviews were so bad we‘re happy to move any copies at all.
