Fuck.

I would imagine that the reason they need to write scripts is to ensure total compatibility with the machine (the idea is to make the game work with the machine, and not to make the machine work with the game, which is the whole reason behind such a device). And, it's pretty obvious that new games will require such scripting, and, if Apex is intelligent, they will make it very easy to obtain or even write such scripts. If they're serious about this machine they'll definitely know that.

What I wonder is how this machine will deal with its own inevitable obsolesence. The standards of PC obsolesence changes far more rapidly than those of consoles.
