Man most pirates use something like stremio or popcorn time off a home network, the real reason they need to fight this is were still on ipv4 - the amount of logistics they’d have to give a shit about just to address a device (then somehow beyond reasonable doubt attribute that device to a user) is prohibitively expensive

Honestly reading through your comments, I couldnt reccomend Godot more - I’ll just toss some bullet points below.

• GUI tools with lots of tutorials
• Basic 2D and 3D rigid body simulations
• Very extendable if you know C++ or rust
• In house python like compiled language deeply engrained into the engine, which is surprisingly fast
• Cross compileable to most devices, but honestly the engine itself runs on all devices I use so something like syncthing makes dev incredibly portable
• Ecosystem is only growing by the day, most tutorials are game dev related reasonably but still cover most topics one could need
• Basic GPU compute support if that’s your thing

Theres some things its not yet perfect at, like the web export could be better - and in depth things like minimising copies between CPU and GPU might not be as fine grained as hardcore devs would like, but if youre coming from mathematics and python it’ll fit like a glove.

Just for an anecdote I wrote a basic particle simulation in gdscript that was HORRENDOUS for performance, 200 particles all calculated the per frame force of attraction to every other particle then summed it; whole thing ran at 80 fps even on my phone

Yet they rolled this out before that comparability works, essentially updating out some people’s ownership of the game

Paid good money for a seatbelt, doesn’t mean I’m gonna drive into a tree

Having to support one type of device allows for a lot more optimisation than supporting thousands

Elliptical orbits are perfect for polar regions, both Leo and geo are inevitability going to suffer more than a well covered elliptical

Commercial? Enterprise?

If you run mostly Foss this isn’t even a problem, there’s almost always an arm build (prism launcher even has arm on windows support)

I’d disagree but first I want to hear your opinion on riscv

Is a commercial airliner really civilian?

Some go as far as saying cooking requires a chemical change, else youre just heating

Every laptop part is replaceable if you have enough free time

With a big dev like valve backing it they could probably implement a pretty impressive JIT/cacheing scheme - of course nothing beats native but this gap will close over time
