@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell I’m not a gamer, not really my area. But one example would have to be the state of Game Center.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 14

@mjtsai @CraigGrannell Ah okay now we’re talking. It sucks big time. I can see them thinking it doesn’t help the IAP-driven games maybe?
Craig Grannell ‏@CraigGrannell Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai Beyond that, the store’s hopeless, indies are fleeing, and MFi was and is a mess - http://reverttosaved.com/2016/04/06/low-hanging-fruit-for-apple-and-gaming-part-one-mfi-controllers/ …

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai I don’t understand this part, why should a for-profit care for indies? Why not focus on helping the big, used, apps?

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai And if you give prominence only to those corporations with cash to throw around, the innovation will go away.

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai I still don’t understand why you think innovation for innovation’s sake matters more to a for-profit entity.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 15

@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.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell I think they should do both of those things.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 15

@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?
