    John Gruber (yes, the Apple loyalist) pointed out that the Japanese law specifically exempts game consoles, and suggested the US retaliating by passing a law requiring third-party app stores on the PlayStation and Switch. Which probably won’t happen, but would be entertaining if it did.

      its the one opening Microsoft wants. if they can manage to be able to get gamepass on the devices, itll get what it wants (more subscribers) in virtue of having more devices it is officially on.

      while i dont think it would happen, if it were thrown up in the air, companies like microsoft and epic would 100% be backing it up
