Apple has no right to decide what users do with the hardware they sell.

Sure.

I really want to start playing hardcore porn games on my PS5 as soon as possible.

And if somebody figures out how to do that, they should be able to.

Sony has no right to decide what I do with my hardware, right?

Pretty much, yes.


We don't need to "figure it out". We need the EU to force the big three console manufacturers to allow 3rd party stores in their consoles.


We can do that after the big fishes, those devices aren't such a big deal which is why people aren't complaining as much about them.

Absolutely.

That is correct.
