The parent was complaining about Apple being a filter on the apps that users can install on their phones. But that type of restriction is basically the industry norm.
- Hamuko 6y agoWhat industry? Because I don't see gaming consoles being part of the same industry as smartphones.
- chewmieser 6y agoThey're all "app stores" that block alternative sources. All of them distribute games and entertainment apps (music, video, etc). Sony has also distributed apps not related to entertainment, e.g. folding@home. Saying a console != a smartphone doesn't help discussion when what we're discussing is walled gardens here.
- cwhiz 6y agoDigital app/game distribution.
- Hamuko 6y agoThen what about pretty much every personal computer on the planet? They don't have these kinds of restrictions. How does that play into the whole "industry standard"?
