Japan: Well America cleary isn't going to do it so fuck it we'll do it live!
So, are they going to force Nintendo and PlayStation to do this as well? No?
They won't and they can't do this to Japanese megacorps.
Nintendo orders the police to raid places on the mere suspicion of rom selling.
It's a whole different case.
It's really not. At the end of the day, they're all consumer electronics devices with general purpose operating systems with unnecessary restrictions to enforce a monopoly on software installs.
To be consistent, it should apply to consoles just the same as phones and tablets.
Hm, I imagined it would be different since a phone these days is kinda a requirement to have (at least in this country) and a gaming console isn't
Whether it's a "requirement" shouldn't be the metric, the nature and capabilities of it should. If the device can reasonably support customer choice and competition, it should.
I see, thanks
