Imagine if Microsoft did this on PCs. a) prohibiting the installation of non-windows store software (sideloading) and b) insisting that all purchases done via apps give them a 30% cut. I think this is a ridiculous practice on the behalf of Apple.

I love that it needed a gaming company to stir up a discussion about all this and even put your comment on top on HN where it's usually the praise for this closed environment which ends up being upvoted!

2020 is really an interesting year.
