The 12 Days of Christmas app is a metaphor for Apple right now. It’s run out of ideas on mobile, and is burning through goodwill.

@bazzacollins@allpointsnorth …lot of people will take their freebies and not throw a fit over unreasonable expectations. -
@alstonebridge@allpointsnorth It’s not unreasonable expectations, it’s failing to meet expectations. In previous years it was decent. -
@bazzacollins@allpointsnorth …but that just returns to sense of entitlement. As Chris pointed out, games are getting good use in his house. -
