Do you think the existence of the epic store on wjncows has had an effect on the content of steam?
A really good example right now is riot. They distribute through their own launcher on PC rather than on steam. They have two sizeable games on mobile right now (wild rift and TFT). In a world where these are downloadable from the riot launcher on iOS rather than the app store, it seems likely riot (and other major publishers who do the same on PC) would follow suit? I don't see how having an app store without hearthstone, TFT, fortnite is the same quality as one with.
- hpaavola 5y agoInstead of trying to compare to other totally different products, do the comparison to Android. Has any 3rd party appstore affected play store in any way? No. Start your argument from that fact.
- maccard 5y agoYes. Fortnite isn't on the play store.
- hpaavola 5y agoAnd it's not in apple appstore neither, so clearly the reason is not the fact that non-playstore apps can be installed.
- paulmd 5y agofortnite was in the app store until epic game's account was terminated for terms-of-service violations, so whatever point you're trying to make here isn't correct. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53955183 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53955183
- hpaavola 5y agoThe original argument was that 3rd party appstores would somehow affect the main appstore quality. And that argument is bs as Android demonstrates. So, please read the discussion and only comment once you understand the topic.
