- gaius 18y agoStrategically, Apple doesn't want anything on their platform that doesn't fit in. Nintendo and Sony are exactly the same with their consoles.
- sjh 18y agoNintendo and Sony have formal, up-front approvals processes for their respective consoles, which - if controlling what goes on/does not go on the platform is the goal - seems a better way of going about it. Incidentally, SCEE has quietly dropped the approvals process for PS2 games in Europe.
