Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store

No. They can peddle their infinite growth with less people paying more rather than the opposite. This is the way I guess.

Ok so you agree that Sony shouldn’t have to let you install and play anything you want on their console, but Apple needs to be different because…….reasons?

You missed some sarcasm in there. Once I buy a device, I can wipe it clean, remove any bloat application, load my own code, or side load my friends’ shitty home made game. It’s my device, not apples’. Especially when the device is like 2k€. Apple is responsible for their firmware, so device must run and work for me when I factory reset it. Factory code must be consumer friendly (In reality it’s a tracker and an ad peddler). Loosing guarantee is ok if I phisically modify the device.

You can try to do all that, sure - but Apple don’t have to enable you to do it, and they damn sure well don’t have to write software specifically so you can do it.
