You're right, they haven't made money on iOS in years. They're making such a small portion of the profits in that market. They'll fail soon enough. We heard it

      Apologies. No malice was intended in the above post, contrasted with the one you linked, where I was emotional and may have stepped over the line.

        Understood. It's important to err on the side of civility, though, because intentions don't communicate themselves. (I misunderstood yours, for example, in the above.) Thanks for the polite reply! We...don't always get those.

    Well, given that it's hard to get sarcasm across via text, I did acknowledge that your comment could have been "tongue in check"...but you downvoted me because you didn't understand the reference? Oh well.
