Imagine a world where we only had appstores for software distribution, where you need permission to ship software to your users. We’re moving toward this and it’s pretty sad.

Hopefully, this change is just the beginning, and we'll see more flexibility in the future.

I’m pretty sure this is due to antitrust/legal actions against them.

Their hand was forced.

Good news for us, regardless.
