We can see changes in their app store policies. Creating a more open market for content creators and gamers alike. Saying, “We want to encourage more innovation and investment in content creation and fewer constraints on distribution. Put simply, the world needs open app markets, and this requires open app stores. The principles we’re announcing today reflect our commitment to this goal.”
