hummerchine said: As has been said countless times, if you don’t like the way Apple manages its App Store then buy an Android phone and shut up! ߤ렉 do not see any reason for the courts to be legally mandating that Apple make a single change…

anonymouse said: This so-called "law" known as the DMA, and the regulatory bodies "enforcing" it, is not actually law at all. What it is is a purported "legal" framework that erodes the very concept of law in a way that leads to lawlessness.…

anonymouse said: Like everything else the EU and Eropean countries do, this is like a bad joke. "We didn't say what you needed to do, but, because you didn't do what we wanted, we're fining you." That's like deciding you want a low speed limit,…

AppleZulu said: Let’s hope this scheme is a colossal failure. I mean, if someone built an inviting “alternate app store,” it would ultimately not qualify for Epic’s distribution terms, because any quality app store would have to charge for i…
