The monopoly is the app store on existing iphones and ipads - not the device itself. Once you buy something with iOS you are locked into their store.

- scarface74 4y agoSo in that case every company is a monopoly - Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Roku, Samsung smart TVs, Amazon Fire OS, etc. We just had a real judge say that definition is completely false in the Epic vs Apple case.
- Melatonic 4y agoYou can buy a used game from a separate company and throw it in your nintendo no problem. You can use a different app store on Android or sideload. The Epic case was not a total loss - I do not agree personally
- majormajor 4y agoHow many consoles will let you run games published without licensing enforced with code signing or such mechanisms? Bit harder to make an unlicensed game now than it used to be.
- scarface74 4y agoEvery game for every console since the original Nintendo has to be licensed by the console maker - even physical games.
