Nintendo would stop them. If yuzu devs want to go to court, they can continue development.

Yuzu devs could do it anonymously, but that’s gl on not doxxing yourself, at risk of lawsuit.

most people don’t. and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect them to.

what kind of apps cant be updated through playstore/fdroid?

it’s not that they can’t be (maybe some apps I use can’t) but rather that I don’t like some things about F-Droid. One of the big things being unreliable app updates. They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#f-droid

“Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust.”

• Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I’m blanking on the name of)

https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery

Simple Gallery was bought by ZipoApps and will be soon flooded with ads and tracking garbage, FossifyOrg forked the whole simple mobile tools suite, and will continue development independently of ZipoApps

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

I can only think of one extension that I’d really like on mobile right now (nitter redirect), but this is great for the future of Firefox

You don’t want to understand, am I right? I don’t get you.

No, I understand. You are fine with regional pricing as long as there’s absolutely no way to enforce regional pricing. Which, when talking about a purely digital storefront, means there will be no more regional pricing.

This has already started happening in some regard. Recently, many games on Steam have already had their regional pricing removed, to the ire of gamers in poorer regions.

Truly a massive W

No that’s exactly the same thing.

No it’s not. Telling someone from California that they can’t buy products in Mississippi is WAY different than telling them they are offered a different price in the two states. They are not told that they can’t buy it. Your analogy does not translate to the situation.

What they don’t can [can’t do] is tell other EU citizens that they are not able to buy the product in those EU countries.

That’s not what they’re told though. They are told “yes, you can buy our product.”

I don’t know why you can’t understand this simple fact.

What you’re saying doesn’t make sense. You’re telling me you don’t have a problem with regional pricing (within the EU) on digital goods, but you’re stating that companies must offer that same ‘regional’ pricing to everyone (within the EU)… that’s no longer regional pricing, it’s all just one price then. These two lines of thought completely contradict each other. How can you have regional pricing if you want everyone from every region to be offered the same price?

Do you really think that companies who offer discounts on digital goods to buyers in poorer regions are being nefarious? If the companies are not able to regionally price the games, then they cannot offer a discount to the poorer regions, and all that happens is everyone in the poorer regions ends up paying more.

So someone from California can’t buy products in Mississippi, that’s just fair - or it’s ok just because it’s via the internet?

this is not the same thing.

regional pricing does not block people from buying the game.

regional pricing allows people in poorer countries to afford games.

I do not see a problem with companies offering discounts to people who would not otherwise be able to afford their product.

I understand the principle, but in practice, the result of this will be negative.

So to comply, companies will now charge people in the poorer countries more money. epic w
