If you think this is bad wait until streaming-only games get killed.


Many who used to have a PC now have just a smartphone but the problem is that phones are modeled to be consumption devices, not for production. Even pro/highend mobile devices lack the ability to compete head-to-head with an actual laptop/macbook because the underlying OS is limited in scope by design.

TL;DR: you were never meant to do work on a phone, just watch stuff


>but on most things there's almost no difference between they and Aliexpress. I can buy the same products from Aliexpress way cheaper and have them delivered in 2-3 days.

That's what a lot of FBA vendors are, middlemen. Some Chinese companies learned about this and are now doing FBA directly.....but the quality is the same and so are the prices.


I remember looking into startup ideas for an FBA venture and the forums being incredibly sleazy most of the time.

That was years ago, no surprise this is the result.


>according to our own personal interpretation

That's incredibly problematic


What tech?


Well that sucks, I could see this being used in VR arcades


"yep"


Side question: how did the company go? and what was the product (the animation) for? games?


Unfortunately, things didn't end well. I can't actually talk about it.

The business plan morphed significantly during our 4-year run, from 3D pet scanning to location-based branded marketing to what was going to be a big gaming focus (my vote) or glorified 3D emojis (their vote).

I wanted any game/experience that featured characters/avatars to be able to allow people to play as themselves. I didn't get a chance to see that concept through.


Is this another tech that's "just around the corner" like holo-memory from the late 90's?


Or just ban companies that use it from operating in the EU
