byte[] is rarely not at the top of space used per single type in most profilers, since it's the backing store of every single string in the system, including things like class names.

Well, that usually costs money. Really, if your network protocol is good, you can host from home. A decent MORPG should only take around half a kilobyte per second, maybe even less. Its all about how you control the packets you're sending.

But then again, even getting DOSed at home(by bad people) isn't really good idea.

Also, varargs.

If java does end up on the ps4 Sony will just take it away. Just like "other OS" on the ps3.

I doubt it. Java on the PS4 will be good for Oracle, and probably even good for Sony.

And here I thought we should be talking about DirectX.

It's nothing to do with licensing.  All JITs execute code from from data segments, which is forbidden by iOS and Windows 8 RT.  Nitro and IE10's JIT work on those OS's because the vendor special-cased them.

You go around calling it Monopoly, and you probably will get a C&D or a takedown.  May as well save yourself the hassle.

I think the most widely used language for commercial and popular games as of today all together is C++. I don't think there's a way to tell though. :/

With two users (and counting) this is without a doubt my most successful library (wrapper)!

I think the only thing that is to be avoided at all cost is *gasp* that the paying user/player runs into a bug.

Anything else affecting your code should be avoided, but never at all costs. Trying to refactor an existing codebase into a better design, over and over again, is exactly the reason the developers on this forum are barely productive. We have so few finished game releases per month that it's a bit shameful. Sometimes not having a fancy IDE is what makes you productive, because you simply have to move on with what you have and you just want to get it over with. The next game will have a better design, not this one.
