Obviously you also wouldn't be able to install the games you bought on there on any device that didn't have an Apple logo. Sharing the same game library between Windows, macOS and Linux? Nope, buy them again.
You might also have to kiss goodbye to cloud saves. The macOS App Store version of Resident Evil 4 doesn't support cloud saves between macOS and iOS devices whereas the Steam version has cloud saves.
And this is the state of Apple's game store when they are facing competition.
Apply that same logic to the iPhone. Why not just take the abstinence road when it comes to any other store than steam?
What's the safest way to Skii? Don't ski. Don't want to download any apps from a different app store than Apple's? Don't do it then.
That is the exact situation I want to avoid on my phone.
What is so hard about that to understand. This is removing a choice from a user.
I am surprised to see this sentiment, given how much trouble I've had with the Windows store the few times I've been forced to use it. The way it puts files into locations I have limited rights to even while operating in admin mode... game files... made it a nightmare. Especially when it stopped working and the installer couldn't even identify those files as existing for the sake of removing them. It was to the point now I'd rather skip playing a new game than use Window's store if it was my only option, even if the game was offered for free.
This is a very good point.
The reality is no, if I want to play Fortnite I have to install the Epic Game store. If I want to play GTA, even if I buy the game through steam I have to use the Rockstar Launcher.
There are multiple instances of this situation in gaming and it is the exact thing I don't want to happen here.
