Nice straw man there. I wasn’t talking about the Mac App Store which is not even the target of anti-trust investigations. Macs allow you to install apps from anywhere. It’s the iOS App Store that doesn’t allow apps to be app marketplaces within. Setapp is a subscription service, not an app marketplace.
- Terretta 3y agoYou were talking Mac. > Setapp is a subscription service, not an app marketplace That's a really weird way to draw that line. I go there, goods are marketed to me, I pay money to use them. That's the definition of a market and the site and its desktop app are a marketplace. Unless you're arguing that if Apple finished transitioning the iOS app marketplace to purely subscription, it's no longer a marketplace. That would be a really unusual stance.

- stetrain 3y agoThe original comment, and my reply, are both about the Mac explicitly. I also specifically said that for iPhone and iPad that they were correct, that Apple's app store is the only way to get apps.
