And yet the DMA didn't go after Nintendo, Sony or Xbox, right?
Yes and perhaps you should study the preamble in the DMA why some American companies are targeted but not other American companies.
But the reason are two fold.
1: they don’t have a dominant market position
2: games can be purchased from alternative sources.
According to your argument here, those are "antithetical" to a free market.
Have I ever argued in their defense? Or what do you think my argument is?
Huh? But these people are expressing a legitimate concern about forking the App stores on IOS. This sentiment is independent of "emulators" and will happen over and over again. I think you're missing the argument here.
This isn’t a legitimate concern and 100% made up especially when The iOS AppStore has been fragmented almost since day one. Apps being available exclusively in the U.S. store, Swedish store, German store, Canadian store, Chinese store, Japanese store, Korean store etc etc etc.
Alt stores are just competition to Apple.
I meant he could have released it in the traditional app store rather than launching an alternate app store in the EU.
And he could do both. That’s the beauty of the free market. You can pick and choose. And I will simply pick one of the competitors when they are approved to the AppStore.
Such as the provenance Emulator and Ignited Emulator when they are approved for the iOS AppStore.
Both seen as superior to the Delta emulator.
