Whose fault is it that it has to be a paid app store? Blame Apple for their ridiculous policies that essentially require it.

I never mentioned anything about the fee, just that you have to use a different store.

  A different store than what, Delta wasn't even available on the app store until earlier today! And the irony is that they had to develop the entire store just so that they could bypass the walled garden.

What does that change about the conversation? > And the irony is that they had to develop the entire store just so that they could bypass the walled garden. Clearly not since it is available on the Apple App Store in every country other than the EU.

      It was available on the not PAL AltStore. AltStore was originally created to distribute Delta because Apple wouldn't allow it.

See the sibling response. > Clearly not since it is available on the Apple App Store in every country other than the EU. As of… TODAY! Day of the release of the alternative store. What a marvelous coincidence for an emulator that has been submitted years ago on the App store and blocked by Apple for all this time! Yes, Apple recently changed their policy about emulators … as a result of the exact same Digital Market Act that allowed this alternative store to exist. Again, this isn't a coincidence, it's just how the consequences of the regulation are unfolding and how Apple is trying to cope with it (in a surprisingly clumsy way).
