    Your bad faith argument will not deter me. You are right, there are other things to worry about. I fear for the women in my life that may no longer have access to the reproductive health care they deserve. I fear for my LGBT friends who may no longer have the rights they deserve. I’ll easily turn a blind eye to something happening a half a world away so the people nearest and dearest to me can continue to exist. I hope for the safety of Palestinians - but I will not cut off my nose to spite my face.

    Yes but here’s the thing. I bought my iPhone because it’s damn simple. I don’t like spending time on my phone, simple is efficient. I’m envisioning a future where I have a folder full of wallet apps because every debit/credit card institution creates their own. All circumventing the privacy restrictions Apple forces on their AppStore. Truly the consumer has lost in this situation. If I didn’t want to use the AppStore - I would have bought a different phone.

    I would rather pay $10 a year for something that has no Epic Games involvement at all.

    This feels like an embrace & extinguish tactic. I’m skeptical this is good for AltStore and its users long term. But then again I’ve always found the AltStore devs practices leaning toward shady. Everyone deserves to be paid for their work but he consistently locks features behind a paid Patreon beta, then doesn’t publish updates for many months. For me personally, this rubs me the wrong way and guarantees I won’t pay.
