as usual I came across an interesting article about what a vaporware and it caught my attention because as you may have noticed I'm researching into the world of software and games. Summarizing the article we define a vaporware as follows:
Vaporware: a software or hardware whose launch was announced by the developer in advance, but the process failed and everything was just an idea. Ie there were too optimistic and responsible for their total development failed to complete.
In recent years there have been different kinds of vaporware , to the extent that it has created a sort of annual contest in search of the worst vaporware, the contest is done Wired News ' Vaporware Awards where one can vote and leave comments about the worst year vaporware.
Finally the most important thing it is incumbent upon those interested in the area the game and sciences, a common vaporware game occurs when a highly anticipated by gamers is delayed for a while, but after that time is further delayed and thus the worst of these cases was the game Duke Nukem Forever promised since 1997 and has not been released to date.
But something very important for the owner of this blog have been vaporware consoles, ie gaming systems announced but never released, as is the case of L600 Indrema a home console for video games PS as 2 or Xbox but completely assembled on the Linux operating system, allowing the creation of open software for the console, this allowing any person to develop games or other applications within the platform and the platform.
The company that developed the console declared bankruptcy the April 6, 2001 under the comment that the company needed $ 10,000 USD to continue and to launch the console . You see peers, colleagues and fellow readers, not enough to have a good idea and keen to develop a project within the area of \u200b\u200bthe game , need good relationships to enter the market, since on this market innovation is a key factor and especially the $ $ $ without which there can be carried fruition a project of this type.
Receive a greeting and keep in touch.
