Apple may not look like a gaming company, but they’re just a different kind of gaming company, and they’re poised to do even more.

I actually slightly disagree with the conclusion that Apple should just make a more powerful Apple TV with a different controller. Apple hates fragmentation for a reason:1. Game devs would have to decide if they want to develop a game with a proper controller/better graphics in mind, or if they want to support the limited apple TV remote for example.2. The Apple TV app store would be split into "pro" and "regular" apps, adding complexity.
3. It would introduce unnecessary choice for consumers during the purchase process. Do they want to take gaming seriously or do they just want Candy Crush? Where exactly is the cutoff point between the two models? Apple doesn't like to burden the user with such choice, because usually choice kills conversion (users get confused and just don't buy either).
4. Apple fundamentally doesn't believe it can trust users to properly understand what the difference between two similar looking devices is. Rightfully so. If it looks like an Apple TV and it's called an AppleTV, but doesn't play all the AppleTV games, then people will get upset. This was kind-of the problem with Windows RT. Looked like Windows, but didn't run classic Windows apps. 5. I can't think of two Apple products in one product category that use fundamentally different input methods. classic iPods = scrollwheel, iPhones/iPads = multitouch, Macs = mice/trackpads + keyboards. Not sure Apple TVs should be the first category to break that trend.I think they would do best if they replicated their iPhone strategy. Make one kick-ass all-round device for the device category. Promote (and support) it until everyone understands what it fundamentally does. Once it is established, add new versions, but don't break backwards compatibility and don't support two different input methods at once. What do you think?
I think you are right too. I also thought of Apple should not emphasize on games, as it is not a gaming device. It is just a smart TV computer.
Nice too see you, TechAltar.
His and Yours videos are so high quality. I read your comment in your voice :D
I'm happy TechAltar has the same thought that i had as well ^^.
These are poor objections. Most of these apply to all Tech EVER. Only reason you got likes is because you're a big channel.
I agree on Apple's philosophy that "Treat all users as dumb and make choices for them". A proper gaming console doesn't sound in line with Apple portraying themselves as a "way of life" company (i.e. Apple products not just products but a way of living), so I doubt they'll ever release a proper console or even are interested in such a product. Almost all their popular products are essentially commonplace items. iPhones are just a smartwatch, iMacs and Macbooks are regular laptops, and there is nothing groundbreaking about the iPod. No VR, no major products in any category which an average person would anyway not use. Sure, the Apple Watch is niche, but again, everyone uses a watch. Gaming consoles are just too specific for Apple to develop one.

ubisoft is good but they make stupid deadlines and their games are often inconsistent,ubisoft games are awesome like few months after release.EA are just money sucking whores,ea dont make games they just make orders to smaller companies like dice,bioware etc. this is not old EA from underground 2 times
5:01 You put a Wii as a serious gaming console...
SUBSCRIBED
I know this is a joke, but the sad truth is most "gamers" (people who downloaded a mobile game once included) see themselves and everybody above them in the casuallty hierarchy as "real" and "serious", and everybody below as casuals. My personal opinion is, if you're willing to pay *for* not *in* a game, you're not a casual
Best youtuber ever.

5:47 there’s something missing in that train of thought.
People still wouldn’t buy controllers or even consoles if there are no great games on it.
Despite Apple making efforts on creating an easier development scene, it still means nothing if they don’t think like console companies do-which is to create & support first party games.
If the first party games succeed (ala Sony), then you’re guaranteed to bring some people on-board. Don’t think that others are going to stay silent about it though.
This. Absolutely. The average person isn't much of a gamer and, if they are, they're mobile gamers.
Depends on what you define as "An average person".
No one is a mobile gamer anymore, everyone plays console now. It's an improvement, but the real improvement would be a world full of Pcmasterrace
Nick Delligatti A person who doesn't have a console and/or pc
The Suicidal Muffin there is not such thing as a mobile gamer. They are playing games on a phone.
I always chuckle at the notion that "mobile gamers are just like any other gamer"... The PCrace can make fun of my ps4 all day long, but we unite against the filthy peasant underclass who is *mobile gamers*
Making games for Android is just as easy as for iOS. Actually, most popular games are sharing the same code across devices, just compiled & wrapped differently. The power of frameworks.
Hosting a distribution service =/= gaming company
See: modern Valve
Valve does make some kickass games though

Well, as a software programmer, I must say that the size of the screen doesn't matter in-game/app development, 'cause we use a bunch of special layouts that adjust the size and position of the components in the game/app to fit your screen.

So playing Soduko on a phone means you're a gamer ;)?
AngeloNix this just in! New York Times is a gaming company! You can play crossword :)
AngeloNix Yes?
Playing any kind of game very frequently means you're a gamer.
It's just you're not a competitive gamer.
Sean Nijjar, it's ok son, you don't have to be stingy with your "gamer" label anymore. Definitions are fluid, and no one group of people has a monopoly on the term. You can let go now, child.

Gaming on an iphone...
*Looks at the emulators on android*
Ryan Young yeah, my problem with that however is apple often revokes them if your phone isn't jailbroken. GBA4ios is one of if not my favorite gba emulators but it gets revoked a lot
emulation is not piracy
Vinnie Sifter perfectly legal in my country
Liberty Prime, I like to use HappyChick. It almost NEVER gets revoked. Also, GCA4IOS is nice because you can play Wii and GameCube games. I also use RetroArch, it never gets revoked. Also GBA4IOS like you said.

Mobile Gaming shouldn't exist. It's filled with shovelware.
EliteAlex No u
I like gaming mobile. People always say mobile gamers aren't real gamers, but who cares? Clash Royale? Clash of clans? Ar games? Sandbox games? Those are all things I enjoy playing on other people's iPhones. On my PC, I just play Roblox or diep.io/mope.io cuz they suck on a small screen like my phone. If I get an iPad pro, they might work just fine though and it'll be the best of both worlds.👏😊 I love apple. I want to be a part of the perfectionist cult/walled garden apple is creating😭
Lol look at his name
*Shovelware shouldn't exist
We need more games like Witchspring and Anomaly
Sorry, Probably I'll just blame myself to be born poor and can only afford Phone not consoles nor pc
I can't understand how I did not come across your videos before. Your content is 👌
You always open my eyes to look at these companies in different ways.
Can you do a video on Japan's population problem?
I love your videos, keep them up!
1:59 And a huge part of that revenue is generated by microtransactions & lootboxes/gacha.
There’s a reason why people call mobile games as “not real games”. Although it’s true that it was used for comparing graphics in the past, but that’s mostly a moot point today-due to the growth of facilitating device limits to design styles.
(Hint: it has something to do with unregulated anti-consumer practices)
And those antics have leaked to all platforms, sadly.
Yeah. We really need something akin to the FTC but international & on video games to stomp down on those greedy arses.
@divide two, I sure do remember when my mobile tower defense & RTS games don't depend on MTX & lootbox/gacha to win.
No, because they're profiting off on something that's not regulated yet.
Just look at gambling laws. If the gambling commission knew what the game industry has been doing for the past decade, they'll abandon traditional gambling altogether and move to the game industry (or maybe some of them already did?).
Know the saying, "House always wins"? Well, gacha & lootbox games took it all to a whole new level with less than 1% chance of getting what you want--and they all dismiss criticism with "oh, but you do get something in return (despite far from equal in value)." and "you can always grind (despite taking as much time as a literal paid work)."
Stop enabling companies to take your money and/or time unfairly. Stand your ground as a customer.
Iuri Frazão,
“I agree that the mobile industry is morally wrong (imo) using casino like strategies to get money. But it don’t justify ‘gamers’ saying that mobile games aren’t games.”
Oh? Then what does it take to justify that? Calling them a scam instead, because they’re morally wrong?
The cause for calling them “not games” today is wayy better that the previous cause they used in the early 2000s. Consumer-friendly cause is always better for us.
“I’m not enabling companies to take my money, I’m enabling companies to sell to whatever it wants to anyone who wants.”
Then what if the companies want to sell to you? Or your gambling-addicted relatives? Or even your younger relatives? Using the same scummy “casino-like strategies”?
Or what if they all assume that all “gamers” are all the same as whales? Making the gameplay experience requiring to pay unfair MTX, lootbox/gacha, and/or playing as if it’s a fulltime job to get the whole experience?
*Because that’s what happening right now.* They all think that just because some are willing to spend USD 99.99 (or more) on a single game, they treat every other gamer the same.
Why? _Because there’s no laws to prevent them from doing so._
This is not about inhibiting creative expression anymore. It’s about the future of gaming. Unless you want the next generation to be filled with lootbox/gacha & unfair MTX Triple-As with a couple of actually fair indies, you really shouldn’t be supporting AAA companies whom are able to fool people by themselves.
Wow. This was amazing & very informative. New insight. Thanks for making this.
Nice video, the content, the graphics, the sound FX they're all great..
I don't know if it's just me. But I find this background music incredibly distracting. I'd rather have something more ambient or no music at all.

"Lol who plays Fortnite?"
"Yeah I know"
"So you actually play games on an Apple TV?"
"Yeah, we got it as a family Netflix thing and I found out you can play a few games on it, so I started playing like, Minecraft and stuff, y'know..."
"How much is it?"
"Like $90"
"Damn, well if I didn't already have an Xbox One I might've gotten that for my son or something. I can't imagine playing Minecraft with that shitty remote, though."
"No, they sell it with a controller."
"Really? I bet it's like, one of those old knockoff Gamestop controllers."
"Yeah, kinda."

Apple is not getting 30% of all fornite sales because most of its business is on PC and the consoles. Fornite right now is in beta on the App Store and you need a code to get in you can't even play it on there if you don't have a code. So that 500 million dollars is mostly going to Sony, Microsoft and epic games.
Jordan Bryant are you high
Jordan Bryant The $500,000,000 is the estimated amount of many. More people play on Console and pc so the numbers are even higher. You do not need a code to play Fortnite on mobile. Get your facts straight
Yes I was wrong You don't need a code anymore but that doesn't change the fact that Apple's not getting 30% of 500 million dollar. What I was saying is he's acting like all their sales are on the Apple products which is not true.
Great work and research! Thank you very much!
Two years later, and seeing this unfold with Apple Arcade, Apple Silicon, and the rumors of Apple TV shipping with game controllers.....you’re pretty much on the way of being spot on!
Apple is not going build a controller
"more clicks per second with our new controller"
*This guy predicted Apple Arcade!*

Calling apple a "game company" is like calling people who play mobile games "gamers".
Sure, you can make the argument semantically, but that's all it is.
Regardless if it is a mobile game, it's still a game aka "gamers". If mobile games are not games, people who play mobile games would just be called "mobiles" or some shit
technoguy Just regular people. Like not all people riding cars are NOT car enthusiasts.
Orçun Altundağ

Didn’t they stop doing that after a lawsuit?
Just an opinion: Apple has never advertised itself as gaming as one of the focus of their company. Even in WWDC, they demo games just to show how well their CPUs performs. If Apple brings a pro TV, then it means they are advertising as a gaming company. Apple would never take that risk. People will just compare every thing with actual gaming consoles/PCs. Instead what I think, they may do is continue what they are doing currently which is improve their CPU performances even more and perhaps pay top gaming companies to make games for their platform(Those all game demos you see in WWDC are actually these). This way, people like you and me keep on thinking why does Apple won't take this opportunity to make a gaming console. This discussion is safe for them, as it makes people think that Apple devices are very capable gaming machines and at the same time prevent people from comparing them with actual consoles/PCs as they are not meant for gaming.
Exactly what i was thinking. This video comes out of nowhere to solve no problem (Maybe because Fortnite came on iOS devices). Who buys an Apple device for gaming?
Krishna Bharadwaj
Yep, there is actually little reason for them to make a "gaming console" or market one. Their audience is totally different from other "gaming" markets. The only problem though is that they can't sell peripherals, namely controllers, which will limit the types of games they can make and I see no way they can make controllers attractive to their average user, especially since you can bet your ass their controller will be stupidly unreasonable expensive.
Thanks for the awesome videos! I found the background music to be off-putting though. I'm not sure if it was too loud, too repetitive, or too contrasting to your voice (Which is awesome for these videos btw). I just know it didn't feel right. Anyhow, just letting you know so you can give it some thought.

I updated to iOS 12.0 yesterday (more like had to reset my iPhone and thus be forced to update... >:/) and I was surprised by how well the AR Kit works, even with the simple (on the surface) Measure app.
Right apple is a 'gaming' company, just like how windows is a 'gaming platform'
Great video. Agree with everything apart from the Android being a pain to dev for and Apple not, this used to be true a looong time ago but now there are 7 iOS device screen ratios (11 on Android) and so many differences and bugs in iOS versions that iOS devices are just as much of a pain, and then things like notches to work with! So both are a pain, so a mute point nowadays, just a thing we do and luckily dev tools help a lot more than they used to. Do a video on VR and AR, Android is doing great things with VR (Oculus Go this week) and Apple has the AR chip and apparently working on a rumored AR/VR standalone device.
I guess apple is starting to make changes that make more in a pain to work.
Not only that, but now more multi-platform development tools are being made as well.
Thorny the notch gives you more screen not less😁
Which obviously isn’t used for games
Glad u have sources
So one step ahead of most media :)
So, Android is the PC gaming of the phone world, while iOS is the console of the phone world?
Roxor128 No. It can't be compared android apps/games doesn't run better than their Apple equivalent
Robz Sarmy Are you serious?
Yes I am...
Robz Sarmy they're both the same.
Robz Sarmy - I was thinking more from a development perspective. Console game development is easy mode with only one setup to make the game work on, while PC game development is normal mode with a billion different hardware and software configurations to make it work on.

No one was trying to change whatever phone or computer you use. Mostly because, no one cares
@@thepack5018 Are you sure about that? Scrolling through the comments I've seen plenty of arguments over it, however almost all of them compared iPhones to Android, whilst stating hardware, which makes no sense as there are Android phones with better specs than any iPhone, and a plethera of Android phones with worse specs. Also, Samsung's launcher (forgot what it's called now but it used to be TouchWiz) looks very different to both Google Now Launcher and Pixel Launcher, with the exception of apps ofcourse.
Version with a controller? Naah, apple would sell it separatly for 199.99 USD.
