If your social game is not on iOS you won't lose out on that 50% of the market, you lose period. Even single player apps that need to go viral must be on iOS, because network effects are intrinsically social.
It doesn't matter whether your product is Facebook, Whatsapp, Trello, Angry Birds, or Uber. If you're not on iOS you're done. Game over.
If that isn't monopoly power, I don't know what is.

- woofcat 4y agoI don't believe this. There are plenty of huge apps that are only on one platform or another. As an example third party Reddit apps largely are single platform.

- newjersey 4y ago» As an example third party Reddit apps largely are single platform. I don't have skin in this conversation but I just want to call out your fallacy here. It is kind of cheating a little to give reddit apps as an example here because as long as you can get on reddit somehow, you are a part of the network. You don't have to use the same app as the other guy...
- wvenable 4y agoReddit is not single platform so that's not a valid comparison.
- andsoitis 4y agoThe same can be said for Android (given that that’s the other 50%), no? Would you then say that both Apple and Google are monopolists of the same market?
