It was really unfortunate that they included that. I continued to the end, but those were definitely the worst parts.
I’m not downvoting, but wow, that’s a bad article. It came down to “I’m switching because I’m bored.”? Ugh. I expect a lot better from tech journalists, not just a diary entry thrown up on the web.
I think a lot of stuff could fit their tech, if they were willing to go the extra mile and develop standard game features as well. Pokemon Go could be so much more if they implemented more RPG stuff. Ingress might have reached its limit, I dunno… But everything they’ve produced since those has been incredibly bare-bones and boring. And they all sounded like they had potential.
They want to do the absolute minimum amount of work to support their main mechanic, and nothing else… And it’s killing them.
After looking into z-wave and zigbee and having installed a lot of wifi devices, I also decided to wait for Matter. I’ve been pretty disappointed in the reviews I’ve seen, and the range of devices is really limited. I’m starting to wonder if I should just give up and go with Z-wave.
