And why, after we ridiculed this thing 10 years ago for being a low-poly abomination and then it disappeared from view for two decades, did they suddenly decide to release the thing with apparently zero changes in 2023?
This is a terrible, ridiculed, 10 year old atrocity. How is it being taken seriously? I feel like I’m on crazy pills.
e: number typos
I don't disagree, except it was 4 years ago that they unveiled the abomination.
It was definitely previewed at least ten years ago. In my old job as UX designer, we were laughing at it around the office, and I haven’t worked there for 12 years. It may have been a limited preview in design circles, not a public announcement, but the design hasn’t changed.
Hmmm, design and everything? That event with the broken windows was a lot last than that, and that's when it really turned it into a meme
At that point, it was a primarily visual design with some technical specs (obviously aspirational, there was no prototype yet).
