Are you kidding me? You can’t create “Custom Hardware.” You can create game consoles though. Maybe that’s what the post you read meant.

There is a R&D research called Custom Hardware. Now quit bumping older posts.

It’s a 10 day old post. Not a year old post. The last one was a 4 day old post.

In fact I still have replies to YouTube comments from March in my G+ inbox.

I actually have ones from 2013 coming in as well.

Since no one has been clear. You can make custom consoles in the Hardware Development area of your studio. It is unlocked by researching it in the R&D section of your studio (which is entirely separate from the Hardware Development) and by training an employee as a Tech Specialist. However, separate from developing consoles, WHILE developing a AAA game, a project option appears in the Hardware Development area of your studio to develop “Custom Hardware” to release with your title. This is similar to creating a AAA Marketing campaign in the R&D area of your studio. Hope you all have had an amazing 7 years and I hope this helps anyone in the future. I do not know what making hardware does for your game, which is how I ended up here.

Since I bothered to make an account I figured id report what I learned here. So, it appears that creating custom hardware increases your games genre compatibility with the platforms you chose to release on. i.e. If you release an action game on the PC with custom hardware it will be +++ rather than ++ for the Genre/Platform matchup and you will sell more.
