The bastards actually built what looks to be a nice platform. I can’t wait to install a different launcher for every app on my phone!
Better to have competition than relying on the same launcher for every app. Monopolies are convinient but actually really bad for you.
Yes but here’s the thing. I bought my iPhone because it’s damn simple. I don’t like spending time on my phone, simple is efficient. I’m envisioning a future where I have a folder full of wallet apps because every debit/credit card institution creates their own. All circumventing the privacy restrictions Apple forces on their AppStore. Truly the consumer has lost in this situation. If I didn’t want to use the AppStore - I would have bought a different phone.
Just STFU man
Oh whoopsie, I didn’t see your opinion police badge.
And is paying to have a game exclusively on your store good? Remember: Most people use Steam for the features it has (arguably whether necessary or not). Remember when it used to scan your Steam friend list file? Or the fact that it took three years for a shopping cart? Or the fact that the UI looks barebones? Oh, and Goat Simulator 3 was paid for as a temporary exclusive, and they were like, "Yeah, add it as a non-Steam game🤷♂️"? Or the fact that when someone hacks your account, you can send all the proof you want, but they say, "Nah, fuck you," while Steam does a better job? I can say that because, even if not directly, I helped someone recover their account with a simple email screenshot and receipt of a payment. Competition is good if you offer something better, and no, "free games" are not something better. People are even complaining about them because they don't give away AAA games but only "garbage" or repetitive ones.
That's the normal user base you get in their https://lemmy.world/comment/11811952 collect and never play
Ahahahahah downvoted for facts lol at least is all available online what I say. The truth hurts
For what it’s worth - I think I agree with you. But your message rambles on and never makes a concise point. That’s most likely why the downvotes. You can always ask a LLM to tidy it up for you next time.
Edit: LLM = Large language model.
LLM? The point is to never use something so inferior. It's not a good competitor, it only ruined the gaming industry on pc
