I was coming here to say this. They have sold 1.8 million copies in a week. 64k active players right now.

Developed by 3 guys. The graphics are intentionally low poly but the shooter is deep with well modeled weapons, drivable/flyable vehicles, well designed maps, and a nearly full destructible world.

The temptation of the dark side...

A few have tried…

Kodak did this a few years but the big printer companies slashed prices in the printers to next to nothing. Kodaks $200 printer with cheap ink, huge cartridges, and no chips didn’t sell well when Canon would have a similar printer (scan, print, etc) for $49 next to it. Consumers are dumb.

Brother’s eco tank is close… but if they are killing that off in the name of ink selling greed as this meme suggests…

Will operating systems still be relevant?

I have been in IT for 30 years. This has been a recurring theme for at least 20 of those years. It has gone by different names but the idea hasn’t changed. Web technology has come a long way but there are too many developers still writing traditional apps to kill the OS completely. While new greenfield apps may be web first, most of the corporate world is running on legacy apps that are tied to the OS.
