smells like legally actionable monopolistic behavior. apple clearly needs to be broken up... when was the last time we did that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Serious dumb question, how is it considered a monopoly? What forms the monopoly?

The company? If so, what is the proposal? Apple HW team is separate company from SW team? Apple phones and Apple computers are separated?

The app store? There's only one Xbox store on the Xbox, one Nintendo shop on the switch or Wii. It wouldn't make sense to require supporting competition on your hardware. Did N64 games work on the Sega Genesis?

What is constitutes the monopoly and what's the proposed fix?

No, but Playstation games did https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Bleemcast! And Sony sued them but failed

Here's the section for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Bleemcast! is an independently developed commercial emulator by Bleem! that allows one to load and play PlayStation discs on the Sega Dreamcast. It is compatible with most Dreamcast controllers and steering wheels, and leverages the Dreamcast's superior processing power for enhanced graphics. It was created by using the MIL-CD security hole found in the Dreamcast BIOS.
