Wow, Apple sucks
Not to take sides, but one company built their entire business model around âletâs break into the secure messaging platform of this other companyâ.
Why are Apple the ones who suck here?
While the others is garden wall everything about our product series, removing consumer choice, and forcing everything done our way.
Yeah, and? That still doesnât excuse anyone breaking into their system against their will.
Did you also feel the same way about Steam shutting down the gambling sites that gambled with CSGO skins? Steam garden walled their product and forced everything done their way. The consumer chose to gamble their real money on video game pixels, why did Steam have the right to shut that down?
You are free to disagree with Appleâs ecosystem, but donât try to convince me you wouldnât do the exact same if you were in Appleâs shoes, or try to convince me you didnât celebrate Steam shutting down gambling just because you personally disagree with the idea of gambling on CSGO skins.
You seem to be making the assumption that because I disagree with the walled garden that I agree with breaking it. I believe both are wrong.
I agree with steam shutting down the gambling sites and I am against steam for having the lootboxes in the first place.
There is a concept of not agreeing with either side as both are bad options.
