Why can't they just issue their own device to minimize app store fees. it seems to me the amount money going to app store real estate is more than enough to justify some sort of method of allowing their users to play the game without app store intervening. The total amount spent so far is astounding if viewed in figures. Minus half or quarter of the total time since appearing in app-store for it to be served to the large audience. The other half would have to be too much time spent content. Rest of that half of paid out fees could have more than enough to fund a plan B.
Another reason why having the current ecosystem, where app stores pretty much dictate the destiny for a growing company. creating another device assuming it magically becomes a success, there is most definitely not a long lasting venture either. Bypassing the app store to achieve what exactly? okay this device plays roblox 'and what else can it do?".Discouraging to see companies like this be dictating how they grow and succeed. Only to grow in this manner and be topped out as there is no next phase after this growth, the atmosphere they're in is polluted and cloudy. The next phase in BIG tech is most likely not going to resemble this depiction, for more reasons than i can list here. The big players in tech are losing their ground day by day. Epic Games is relisted back on to the app store, not long ago they were fighting apple over the very same hurdle that Roblox is facing today. Epic Games did however get their way with Google and went on to send a clear message to the rest of the big tech players out there.
I think a big change is near and if not than its needed.

- stavros 2y ago> Why can't they just issue their own device That "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Don't worry, though, your iPhone will soon be your own to do whatever you want with, thanks to the DMA. It already is, if you live in the EU.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoWhat are you talking about? Last I saw apple mostly won their lawsuits in the US and our government is so captured by late stage capitalists I doubt we're going to see any serious revision of their monopolistic behavior. Lucky you that the EU actually does stuff to big tech.
- stavros 2y agoI think (hope) that what the EU does will spread to the US eventually as well.
- mahirsaid 2y agoDon’t forget about the large amount money being dumped into lobbying on behalf of big tech. It’s effective here due to capitalistic society and government benefit from it ( taxes, money contributions, competing market like( China,EU, etc)). Makes sense for these changes to take place in EU, lobbying isn’t as effective nor the incentives for politicians and government bodies.
- Workaccount2 2y agoApple just had a fresh anti-trust suit opened in the US, and with Google just getting the stamp as a monopoly, I would say things don't look good for Apple.
