How does this compare to Google? You can develop your own app and side load it. And you can have third part app stores.

- akersten 6y agoYep, I'd say Google's closer to doing the right thing here comparatively, having at least a non-terrible path to running unsigned APKs. I would put Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo in the same bucket of "makes hardware that can run software, but only software they approve." Whether this is something we as a society should allow, I won't comment on, but I will say that Epic should either have a grievance with all of them or none of them. Microsoft and Epic are strange bedfellows and I can't see this headline as anything other than a nervous preemption on Microsoft's part.
