      Apple can't go on like this. Their bans on competing apps and competing payment services on iOS is breaking the evolutionary cycle of technology and even economics:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-25/google-stadia-nvidia-geforce-microsoft-xcloud-not-on-apple-ios …

      How else is a developer to reach those 1,000,000,000 customers on iOS when Apple blocks all competing stores?

      iOS isnt a caste system — if consumers perceived a problem they would switch to Android. I think its unfair to begrudge Apple this platform protection when it faces incredibly fierce competition from Android (cant be a monopoly if you have <50% market share)

      what a shortsighted viewpoint. Any platform that can create arbitrary rules to block competition is abusing their position. Apple refused to even acknowledge they were wrong about something in our app and made us cut a feature stating “they knew our app better.”

      if you’re the only way to install apps on an Apple device you’re by definition a monopoly.

      the last time I checked the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service is a monopoly. more so, the ability to retroactively remove or block competition due to vague policy changes stands as anti-competitive. it is okay to acknowledge it.

      These are mutually beneficial business deals agreed on by developers and publishers. There are many stores on PC, and they coexist successfully side-by-side. Unlike on iOS, where Apple blocks all competing stores and payment processors.

          But when you make exclusive deals, you cut out those who don't use Windows. Mutually beneficial does not include users you know, some of us get badly screwed by your deals.

          If I was on top of apple, I'd sure block EGS and Fortnite, you get treated exactly how you're suffocating the pc market and blocking technological evolution by forcing an underdeveloped platform (as an understatement).

          Just about every messenger app has an instant games platform now. Line launched theirs last year. Viber and snap have instant games as well...
