At some point you’re going to struggle to put a capable x86 machine in a device that small.

“We’d prefer you didn’t use the word “Source” in the game title. You wanna sell Black Mesa on Steam?”

Valve has made an emasculatingly large amount of money this way. Following in the footsteps of Id Software, Valve has been very open with their development tools. I don’t know about the very earliest copies but the ZOMG GOTY edition of the original Half Life included its SDK on the disc. Counter Strike and Team Fortress started out as mods that Valve just…hired.

Releasing the tools to their customer base and then hiring the cream that rises to the top is a strategy I struggle to get mad at.

Yes. People get scammed for millions this way.

A newer scam does an end-around the normal sniff tests. They don’t ask you to give htem money, they strike up a pretty genuine friendship, they have details that check out, so it feels like you’ve just made an actual friend. They’ll talk to you for months. And then they’ll mention that they’ve been making a lot of money on this cool new investment. Well you want to make a lot of money on an investment too, so you ask how, and they tell you how to download an app from the app store, which is supposed to be a safe place, and walk you through “investing” money in some crypto or whatever. Which of course is the payout.
