Comments on: Bad Apple https://www.jesperjuul.net/ludologist/2010/05/05/bad-apple/ My name is Jesper Juul, and I am a Ludologist [researcher of the design, meaning, culture, and politics of games]. This is my blog on game research and other important things.

Apple are becoming increasingly Orwellian in their efforts to control absolutely everything on their platforms. On the one hand, tight control is part of what makes Mac computers run so well. On the other it is the obvious reason for their much slower rate of innovation and development of something as mainstream as games. Gamers are constantly pushing the edge of home computer tech, and Apple aren’t interested in that, so we still use PCs.

Apple might sound like a cool way to get the shiny, Minority Report kind of integrated future, but at what price? Everything integrates great when EVERYTHING is manufactured and controlled by one corporation…

I just hope that the iPhone’s dominance starts to wane soon.
