Apple has now too much money and is running out of core business areas. Expect more investing in non-Apple areas like gaming, cars, etc. Though every video game company on the planet hates them because of App Store terms.

The first half of the event was old wine in new bottles - I reckon that’s the main growth area they are squeezing.

    The "new" display is an 8 year monitor whose updates were a better webcam & integrated speakers, and they're charging more for it than ever before. More like rotten wine in old bottles.

"every video game company" = Epic Games, and mostly because they don't like to pay overhead for their Fortnite loot boxes that most parents wish they could have some control over. I don't have allegiance to either company mostly because they don't care about me, just my money.

  Epic doesn’t do lootboxes, next.

    In the spirit of his argument, they do use time-gated content and other methods to psychologically exploit their users into buying things.

    They used to? At least Rocket League had them for a long time. Unsure how long after Epic purchased it they had them though.

  > I don't have allegiance to either company mostly because they don't care about me, just my money. This criticism is something that is a positive to me. Opposing companies are often dependant on adverting money and the things this leads to are a whole lot worse in my view.
