People like me are too deep into the Apple ecosystem to ever reasonably leave. Until/unless they fully neuter macOS, I’m here for life. And I’ll realistically never use Android. But the next generation of users might use an iPhone, but they also rely on the web and services from other companies. They use Chromebooks. They don’t have a reason to “root” for Apple the same way I did as a kid. And that’s how platforms change and ecosystems fall off. https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/112955398796903001
@film_girl I saw Blizzard go from a small, great company to their greed phase where everything in wow was punitive just to keep butts in the seat, to now where they have fair subs and ways to coax money out of players largely for fun stuff (not pay to win). Now that the bean counters are gone, the last two expansions have been about the player/customer and it is fantastic. I need to share this anecdote with Tim. This is his legacy. He should want to be more Jobs and less Amelio.
