Techno-Fascism, that's what Epic Games is fighting against. Apple doesn't just have a monopoly on their platform, they're effectively telling customers (read: consumers) who OWN THEIR DEVICE they cannot use anything other than Apple says they can. It's time for developers to get their head out of the sand and boycott Apple until it either rots away (pun intended) or steps down from their fascist way of handling things. Otherwise: HEIL COOKLER!,(reply>), @Some Thing Maybe you're talking about technical difficulty of sideloading, not the legality of it? Well, Apple is free to design their hardware as secure as they like. Why should they have to invest the time to support a feature they not only don't want, but can actually make their platform and services less secure? <br>Now, wether you think any of this is a good thing for society is another topic. <br>And let's drop the silly analogies? You're born with your body, you didn't buy from a company as part of a contract.,(reply>), @soupisgoodfood for one that doesn't change anything, you still own the device and Apple has no right to decide what you can do with it. If they do so, that's a claim of ownership over your body making it effectively slavery. Unfortunately they do and there are still enough useful idiots who buy, use and allow it.<br><br>Two: no, sideloading is not supporting another system. It's like saying Microsoft shouldn't allow you to run extern software (.exe files for example) to run on Windows because they built the Windows platform. And trust me, Microsoft tried that with their Windows store if it wasn't for the developers with common sense.,(reply>), @Some Thing But when you sideload stuff onto your iPhone, it's not just something that you're doing to the hardware you own, you're also using the services that Apple provides if you're using anything iOS related. If you want to put Android onto your iPhone and find a way to do it, then good for you. But you can't expect Apple to support a system that they don't want to support, which is effectively what you're doing with side loading/jailbreaking etc.,(reply>), @soupisgoodfood this is not about being free to run a platform - it is about Apple not making it possible to sideload apps. Read my comment again.,(reply>), If you think being free to run your own platform how you want is fascism, then I think you're confused about what fascism really is. And confused about monopolies, for that matter. Also, owning a piece of hardware doesn't give you the right to use their services, it gives you a contract.
