They are inarguably doing the right thing here. This isn't about who the dominant player in gaming is. We're not looking to divide companies post-mortem. This is about potential to cause major damage. Microsoft has the will and the financial backing to cause irrefutable damage to the industry and WILL when enabled to do so.

At least then the Disney app would be good...

It’s not really a debate, South Korea just forced Apple to rip its products out of their country. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I find it very interesting how far a government will over extend influence. The China 1 hour gaming limit, and this.

The 1st thing that easily introduces the ability to bypass sandboxing is a concept called method sizzling which is an artifact of having a dynamic runtime language built into core aspects of the OS (aka objective c). App reviews scan for this behavior and Flagg it up. Side stores will not. The security risk of opening up stores without Apples sign off is insanely obvious and stupid when you know these interfaces. 

I hope they get nothing but massive backlash for this horrible move..
