Tyranny of the majority
- oblio 3y agoLOL :-)))) It's called a "representative democracy" and guess what, the EU has a constitution. Oh, and what's with these ridiculous arguments? Apple isn't even a democracy, it's a corporation, basically a feudal system with shares on top.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIs it tyranny to allow an option to load an extra app store? I can tell you from 14 years of android experience that nothing else is going to really compete with the App Store even if Apple had a setup screen advertising alternative app stores on every device. The alt store will be where 1) a few super rich apps to dodge the 30% (which as of now consists of... Fortnite on Android. And that's it. Apple already banned that. And from previous articles, they are already maliciously complying with this anyway) 2) apps that are on the Grey market (emulators, certain readers) 3) porn, or any other app that is simply not allowed on IOS for moral reasons as opposed to legal. There are less of these than you think, though I can see Japan taking advantage of this to balance it out. 4) some niche homebrew stuff or otherwise apps that have a strong ideology for Open Source as opposed to selling a service So, nothing Apple really cares about (and Fortnite, which has been out of the picture for 4 years now). My blue sky hopes is that Valve makes a mobile Steam for premium games one day if this opens up properly, but I don't see that happening this decade, even if IOS opened the floodgates worldwide tomorrow.
