@mjtsai Which makes Apple's ongoing lack of interest in games all the more baffling.

@CraigGrannell@mjtsai I still don’t understand why you think innovation for innovation’s sake matters more to a for-profit entity.

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell Because much of the value of Apple’s devices depends on what you can do with them, which apps are available.

@mjtsai@CraigGrannell BTW, you could do more if you could sideload iOS apps and have better sandbox entitlements on OS X, too. -
@McCloudStrife@CraigGrannell I think they should do both of those things. - View other replies

@mjtsai@CraigGrannell But they haven’t. Did you ever try to roleplay as an Apple exec and wonder why, from your POV, didn’t you do that? -
@McCloudStrife@CraigGrannell Of course. I still think they’re wrong or perhaps shortsighted. - View other replies

@McCloudStrife@CraigGrannell But, who knows, maybe the correct long-term play is to focus on watch and cars while the rest withers. - View other replies

@McCloudStrife@CraigGrannell It’s not a binary question of people abandoning or not. -
@mjtsai@CraigGrannell Absolutely, it’s fuzzy and my argument isn’t 100% solid. I’m thinking out loud for the most part.

@mjtsai@McCloudStrife In a sense, Google Play’s app selection should be a warning of what the App Store could become. -
@mjtsai@CraigGrannell And just to be clear guys I’m not against innovation and indies, I’m just saying a for-profit’s focus is different.
