    locking down consoles to games only always felt stupid when they are basically pcs anyway. they should have been multipurpose machines all along instead of walled gardens.

      Fully agree. I would even outlaw the walled garden concept completely. I would necessitate interconnecting APIs for everything. So that I can call apples app store over their api from any machine for example.

      If someone comes up with an example that overburdens a company, they need to allow others to make such tools for free.

      Also, i would outlaw any fee on things that cant be explained logically. Like apple tax for example.

      Same obviously goes for consoles.
