How would you feel if Apple brought the same philosophy of iOS to macOS (assuming you use mac)? Can't install anything they don't pre-approve, either from DMG or Brew or whatever, only from the Mac App Store. I don't know if

Originally I was against the idea of affirmative action but I've came around to it, but I still don't understand the need to solve for racial distribution rather than socioeconomic distribution. In my mind affirmative action'

Ah! I did not know that, it's been so long since I've not had a developer account. But yes it seems you are right. Do you still have to re-sign the .ipa every 7 days to have it run on the device?

Not sure about iOS but on the Play Store you can look in the "Premium" section in Games. Not all are IAP free, but it seems most of them are.

I think you're making a mistake comparing 100 hours of a single game (Diablo) to an entire category of TV. A more apt comparison would be comparing 100th hour of Diablo vs 100th hour of a single sitcom, which by then you may be on your
