Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows
I can certainly close my account and install games from other store fronts on my PC.
Valve is neither forcing me on my SteamDeck nor on my PC to use Steam.
I use emulators on my deck and also installed EA Origin and successfully launched titles on it.
And Apple was only recently forced to allow devs outlinks to their respective shopping pages (currently only in the US). Just the priviledge to link users to the subscription page to circumvent apple trying to get a cut.
That is actually lock in.
On Android I can do what I want. And if I so desire I could install an alternative OS on it.
Try that with an iPhone.
