In other words, you're drawing lines where it's convenient for you to draw them? If anything, the fact that iOS allows you to do a lot more than just gaming and without charging the consumers or the developers most of the time, makes iOS a lot friendlier environment to developers than eShop.
And again, this laser-focus criticism of Apple when they only have less than 25% market share globally makes no sense whatsoever. To clarify, I don't believe the Switch is a monopoly for creating the sole exciting handheld environment that devs profit from, because that environment wouldn't have existed without their product in the first place. |
Except that this is patently false. One of the reasons the xCloud and Stadia apps fell through was because of this. Then there are less high profile cases like LMG's Floatplane having to discontinue the app for the same reason.
The other as emulation, which made jack-all since the product is just an streaming interface and then was, well, rating... which makes less sense when you take into account that this is an online service and online interactions cannot be rated.
