    This is such a bad look for Apple. Like we get it, you’re a trillion dollar dragon sitting on your horde. But like, dude, innovate instead of sitting there. You shouldn’t be afraid of side loading. Steam has shown that if your experience is the best, you can do fine. Apple just realizes they wouldn’t have the best App Store experience and would lose revenue. Tough shit.

      It’s not that Apple wouldn’t have the best app store experience, it’s that they no longer have control over their app store. They’ve always been about control and the illusion of freedom, but devs have grown smarter over the years and concepts such as open source will always win.
