I know $59.99 sounds like a lot, but remember that Apple is taking 30% of Capcom's revenue.
So does Sony, Microsoft and Valve (Steam). So, your comment doesn’t really have any significance.

700mb on the iPhone compared to 60-70gb on a console. Textures must be highly compressed.
700MB is the base app, as soon as you launch it there will be a prompt to download the rest of the assets.

The same happened with Resident Evil Village, 1GB initial download with 16GB total assets.

I know the article mentions all the devices you can play this on, but I’m surprised there’s no mention about this being a universal purchase. I wouldn’t even consider this if it wasn’t a universal purchase across all compatible Mac platforms.

If they had any sense of humour they would bring the original PC release and not the remake.

I still don't know what ray-tracing is.

Is it of any use for people who aren't gamers?
There are some non-gaming use-cases, but they are also very specialised. In general it is for rendering visuals; Mostly 3D visuals. This could be animators working on animated films, games. It can also be used in scientific computing when you need to compute behaviours of light.

Ray-tracing is about mimicking the way light works by "tracing" the light rays that reach the camera (where the camera could also be your eye or whatever you think of as the observer). It can more accurately account for the way light bounces, reflects, passes through and generally interacts with its environment than any other rendering technique.

While you may look at that and thing the hardware is useless if you don't make use of any of the above, don't worry too much. While some parts of the ray acceleration hardware can pretty much only be used for that, other aspects of implementing ray tracing hardware is also just synergetic with improving general GPU performance
