First of all, I don't want to have to download a different store every time a big app decides that they're too big for the App Store, a la that EA piece Origin, the Epic Store, the Curse Launcher - or whatever it's called this month - and the Ubisoft Store, all competing with Steam. I just want 1 and no more. That's the best user experience.

Second, I shouldn't have to remind you how well competing regulators worked for the financial sector

Basically, I think something needs doing, but this ain't it. Maybe Apple need their cut cut. They make enough damn money. You could take their cut down to 5% and they'd still be raking it in by the truckload

Funny reading this. it’s as if people installing games from steam on their laptop, and mac apps from the apple app store, then install adobe softwares from adobe installers are living an insufferable life.

They’re not. There are very easy ways to recognize a trustworthy store. We’re doing that every single day for things we actually ingest.

it’s not insufferable, it’s just not the ideal user experience
