Why does any dev in the mobile need to deal with companies like this??
I didn't say I "needed" to. And my job did require it at the time. The circumstances of my employment are kind of out of the scope of this discussion and it's pretty much entirely irrelevant. I was just stating where I got my information from.
you can just self publish and that’s what people do daily.
Sure. You can. People do. Mobile it's way less successful though. And I didn't say anything about what an indie devs options are. You're reading something very different out of what I'm saying and I don't know what it is or where you're getting it from.
Lots of self published games and apps exist and more are available every day.
Exactly. That's part of what's going on here.
I am concerned with the larping you’re doing here.
Larping? What am I role playing? And we're on the internet, so this definitely isn't "live action" by any means. I don't understand what you think is going on here.
Why are you trying to scare people ?
Me stating what goes on inside the industry is not "trying" to do anything. I'm just explaining what I've seen in it. Whether they choose to be "scared" or not is their own perogative. Would you say I'm trying to scare people if I said many people have died in Gaza in the past few months? It's just stating what's happening.
