What we will see is that you will need a different app store for every game on android, while on iOS you can get them all from the App Store.

The only thing that will be clear is that Apple got it right the first time by not allowing other app stores.



This isn’t what happens on PC And there’s no reason to think it will happen here.

You might have a few stores but they will largely compete with each other, reduce prices, and offer freebies.

Fuck the App Store. I want to use steam.


It's exactly what happened on PC. Want to install Starcraft? Have to use Battle.net. Want to install Fortnite? Have to use the Epic Store.


That’s an incredibly small minority of games, the latter of which is the flagship product of a major store owner.

Wildly different claim from “every game will have its own store”
