- duaneb 14y agoThat's a good point. I just assumed that because Gabe decried the windows app store lockin for ARM he would play nice on his own platform. I'm not sure if this would be true or not.
- Dylan16807 14y agoCurated stores are fine and dandy as long as they're not mandatory.
- Foy 14y agoPersonally, I love Steam for the fact there there are no $0.99 fart apps or flash games. Everything is high quality. No games on the store were purchased a thousand+ times with hacked Steam accounts just to get them to the top of the Steam store. Simply because the hacker wouldn't be able to get his shitty game onto the store in the first place. When I browse through the Apple app store I often feel like I'm sifting through a rubbish bin for something useful I accidentally dropped in there.
- james4k 14y agoYeah, though there's something to be said about a curated store. All of the games on Steam are of a high quality. Also, Steam Greenlight [1] will make things interesting for app developers too. [1] http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/ http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/
