Imagine if Microsoft banned users from installing the software they want on Windows.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will permanently ban them from Windows
Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple. You are morons. The people who run Apple have Yachts and Private Islands. They do not give a shit about you.
Big difference here is that Windows doesn’t REQUIRE developers to use the windows store or still pay them money if they use other methods of payment. Anyone can download an installer and install software without the Windows store and Microsoft doesn’t make developers pay them still to do that.
Now if they could get away with it they absolutely would like on Xbox. That’s why Valve put so much effort into Linux.
