Apple's New App Store Policy Is Petty As Hell - Aftermath

The problem with Apple is that it holds a monopoly on its platforms. On Windows, if you don’t like Steam or its pricing, you can go to Epic, GOG, or other storefronts. You can buy physical. On non-macOS Apple devices, you’re stuck with the App Store because Apple doesn’t allow competing storefronts.

Apple is third in the world by revenue in gaming (behind Tencent and Sony, and ahead of Microsoft), without being a developer or publisher. This is all thanks to the combination of its 30% cut and lack of competition.

Ah, so it’s the “Everyone is doing it, so that makes it ok,” position.

Ya they’re pretty pathetic. I don’t give them much attention aside from being amused.

Probably lots of lowlifes just hoping for someone to really stick it to Apple and are sad that it’s not happening the way they hoped.

Shades of American politics, just in it to see the other guy get punched in the face and spit teeth.

Do you think it should be removed? Honestly sometimes as a mod I avoid doing that unless it’s spam or harmful because it seems like it’s just based on my opinion and I prefer leaving it to users’ votes

Yeah. This article is horseshit.

Well, I did work at the Apple Store for five years many moons ago. They were definitely less evil then than they are now. Now those stores need to be unionized.
