This is the same of, let’s say, you’ve to pay taxes but your next door neighbor does not just because.
If my next door neighbor lives in a different country this is absolutely possible
Comment on Riley Testut launches Delta game emulator on App Store - shows middle finger to Europe
TCB13@lemmy.world 5 months agoI downloaded it for free. Stop making this about the US 🤣
Enjoy your 3 side loaded app limit + 7 day refreshes and having to install a 3rd party store to get access to an application that was approved by Apple for distribution on the App Store.
He’s pushing users onto his new App Store so he’s making apps available there 🤷♂️
Yes and that’s a dick move, he is leveraging Delta to push people into AltStore. Why some users can have it for free while others have to pay? How can this make sense to you?
He has to pay a fee to create an AppStore. Do you think he can magically make money out of this air to pay apple?
Yes, and who asked for that?
People asked for an emulator on the App Store, eventually Apple changed their policies and allowed it, he was one that decided to create an alternative store, not the users.

OMFG I’m not in the US I live in the UK. I don’t have access to alternative app stores 🫠
Again, it’s his work he can do what he wants with it. Is he not allowed to make his own decisions or should he refer to your poor arguments in the future? Fuck it’s not hard to understand. He can charge whatever the fuck he wants. That is his right. He built the damn thing!
At this point I feel like I’m speaking to a shitty ChatGPT bot or a troll. This conversation can’t be real 🤣🤣 maybe you’re the Portuguese Tim Cook and you’re still butthurt about opening up iOS??

Okay, when your govt decides you should pay taxes and your neighbor in the exact same situation doesn’t have to pay then I hope you’re happy. That’s what you’re advocating for there.
Ahahah, the exact opposite. I’m all for alternative app stores and I believe iOS should allow for direct IPA installs without signatures and checks from Apple at all. What I’m against is developers screwing over specific groups of people, in this case Europeans, like this one did.
At the end of the day Testut is charging 1.50€/year for AltStore PAL access, so… he just created a new tax, a fee and so is Apple. The more things change, the more they stay the same ;)

That comparison is wrong on so many levels 🤣 This is not a tax. Who’s forcing you to pay it?

Riley Testut, as he could flip a switch and have Delta appear on all European app stores.
