I think it is funny how people were totally okay with Apple nannying and dictating them, even defending the company, and only became rebellious when Visa/Mastercard started doing similar things.
Tells you something about principles and how far they go.
- Razengan 1y agoI mean Apple did not censor shit on MULTIPLE stores that they did not even own. If I go to Apple I expect Apple to be Apple. But when I'm browsing Steam etc I don't see them say "Sorry Apple told us to remove this"
- amelius 1y ago> If I go to Apple I expect Apple to be Apple. Does that difference matter if you're locked in the Apple ecosystem?
- Razengan 1y agoYou don't get it: My usage of Apple is my choice. If the App Store doesn't have something, I can go somewhere else. Visa/Mastercard fucking shit up on Steam, itch, and everywhere else is NOT my choice. Hell, even if I never use Visa/MC and just use bank → PayPal, or cash → Steam gift cards or whatever for all my purchases, why do I still lose access to products because of Visa/MC's whims?
- amelius 1y ago> If the App Store doesn't have something, I can go somewhere else. Only because Apple was legally forced to allow this. This is a recent thing, also.
