Native Nintendo Switch controller & steering wheel support coming to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, ma...
mpantone said:It was announced: to developers participating at WWDC. Remember that this is part of a game controller framework, one that adds on to existing gamepad support. Apple does not have the time to mention every last detail in the keynote which ran for almost two hours anyhow. They covered what they considered the most important announcements.
That's why WWDC is a whole week. They can't cram everything into a two hour keynote.
If it eventually works with GeForce NOW, it might come in handy.
Remember that this is a cross-OS framework and works with iOS, iPadOS and tvOS meaning mobile games can take advantage of this. It's not exclusively for macOS Ventura.
For Joe Consumer, nothing has changed yet since this new functionality won't be available until Apple releases their new operating systems this fall.It was important enough to announce at the keynote.
the downside is it’s useless. -

Apple's Metal 3 key to 'No Man's Sky' and 'Resident Evil: Villages' coming to Mac

I despise this attitude that those of us who demand more should settle for less because it benefits Apple. I'll look out for my own interests, thank you.We aren’t asking to trade Candy Crush for GTA. Those small addictive games have a place. We just ask Apple use all that damn processing power to welcome games like GTA alongside the small pay-to-play, ad-ridden crap.
The current Apple TV can run the GTA trilogy but instead we get this:
and this:Apple’s flagship Apple TV 4K game that we can’t even play anymore with the new remote features removed!!!
People also don’t see the snowball effect of Apple funding games. Say Apple spends $4B on gaming and a gaming Apple TV. Here’s some side-effects:
1. More Home and Siri adoption from Apple TV being a central hub and halo effect.
2. New users into Apple products from iPhone to AirTags.
3. Game developers jumping on board to better platforms like Mac and Apple TV.
4. Apple VR/AR headset/Glasses gaining interest from gamers.
5. Swift and Metal widening the gap from competitors.
6. $7B in revenue added from Apple TV taking at least 20% of the console market. Not considering Mac and other product sales.
7. Apple Arcade becoming a competitor to big companies like Ea and Sony.
8. HomePod becoming a serious purchase for gamers.
Apple has the funds to take over the living room. Then there’s bigger potential like Apple developing a game engine to overthrow Epic and Apple potentially taking 40% of the console market. I can’t think of a better company who could do this.
