I fully support Apple and the rules they have to protect the ecosystem they have created.
They got shat on over and over again for their decisions while they got the iPhone/iPad/App store off the ground (not supporting flash, etc) and they stuck to their guns.
Their reward was an extremely profitable App Store and device lineup.
They deserve the success they have and they have every right to protect the walled garden they have built.
The entitlement that some of these companies think they have that they just show up with a crappy game and loot boxes and think they get to dictate the rules. Sit down young’n.

- ericwooley 5y agoDoes it though? It doesn't actually say anything meaningful, or insightful. It's just the same tired argument about how apple did something right so they should be able to rent seek forever, and if you don't like it, you should use Android.
- aeternum 5y agoNot forever, they can only rent seek as long as they provide a compelling device to users. Too much rent seeking = fewer app developers = fewer compelled users.
