Comment on Why doesn't Steam support Android?

No, it’s the most popular because it’s free and can be stuffed onto basically anything while being pushed by the largest advertising company on the planet. Diversity has nothing to do with this

It can also be delivered with said advertising company completely removed from the system. Because it’s open source.

Did you notice how the alternative wasn’t even involved in this discussion? Why do you think that is?

    Really? You’re really going to pretend Windows and Linux are alternatives to Android? Can we just have an honest conversation, please?
    
    It took a legislative fight with the eu and quite a few fines before they decided to stop being ass much of a bunch of assholes.
    
    You’re mistaken. They’re still a bunch of assholes. If you specifically live in the EU you might be able to distribute your own apps but they still require Apple’s rubber stamp and Apple still gets to collect the vast majority of their tax. Not the case for Android (anywhere).

    They’re platforms you can game on, are they not? You can plug a controller or a keyboard in either.
    
    Also I never said Apple wasn’t a bunch of assholes. I’m just glad a government stood up to them
