There are plenty of businesses where you can just roll up, make a better yet not more innovative version of the leading app, and just take all of the customers. Game distribution is NOT one of them, at all, by any stretch of the imagination

Whew, I found this piece to be quite confusing to read, requiring lots of knowledge of discussions and unrelated trivia that I hadn't come across before. Maybe the author should try to explain his examples a bit more in detail for the
