Care to expand past pointless sarcasm?
There's a reason we have anti-trust laws. You're comparing a company that sells video game items to less than a few million people to a company that practically controls the digital life of hundreds of millions of people.
- cwhiz 6y agoAbsurd hyperbole is answered with absurd sarcasm. Half the US? Come now. If you don’t like Apple you can switch to Android, Lineage OS, or other open source variants. You have dozens and dozens of phones to choose from. If you don’t like Rocket League you can switch to...? Which one has the monopoly again?
- wayneftw 6y agoOh, I meant half the smartphone using population of the US, which is around 280 million people. It's a fact that the iPhone has half that market and that number is only growing since they also have somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the youth market in the US. Rocket League skins have no comparison here, whatsoever. Just wanted to make sure that everybody is aware of that.
- manicdee 6y agoAre you basing that on phones sold or phones actually in use?
- wayneftw 6y agoIt's actually both. Among my own customers, it's way more than half.
