Being able to buy an app once and have the purchase be valid across platforms does have an appeal.

Only if you ever consider leaving your current platform. Which in the case of Apple users would be like getting a very fancy insurance for very unlikely accidents.

You would never consider leaving a platform?  That seems rather dogmatic, never is a long time.  

I also don't see how it's "fancy insurance".  It's just buying an app from a different place, the price would probably be the same.

@crowley ; That’s not quite what I said. I wrote “in the case of Apple…”. And yes, in the case of the Apple platform it is very unlikely I leave it voluntarily.

I think the price would be very high, taking all aspects into consideration.

This article is written in such a way that it provokes “anti-Sweeney sentiment”. It’s Apple propaganda. 

AppleInsider, you can do better, you should do better.

Sorry, but any article about Swiney automatically has that effect on me, and apparently on you too. So don’t blame AI for that.

Why isn't this called "anti-steering"? It's stopping developers from steering users away to alternative purchase places.

The title of this article shouldv’e been ”PlayStation 5 may be coming soon”
