This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.
Yet in spite of all this, certain games wonāt let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.
I meanā¦youāre probably right. But thereās a little part of me that thinksā¦they said the same thing about Facebook, that it wouldnāt last five years, that it would go the way of MySpace and something else would jump in, butā¦ itās been just a few months shy of 20 years now, and even though itās not the juggernaut it used to be, itās entrenched in a way I never expected.
And then thereās, like, GE, which is 130 years oldā¦or Cigna, Remington, Citi, or Chase, which are older. Some others, like AT&T, do a little dance and come backā¦I dunno. Some companies just have staying power (in the case of Cigna, I think it might be a pact with some unholy abomination). And theyāre all still dominating or at least leading their respective markets.
Even your example, Yahoo, while certainly not the cultural force it once was, is still around in a slightly different incarnation. Nothing ever really dies, it seems.
