Use a better alternative store like droid-ify, it can do automatic updates for all the apps it installed first

can't wait to run an emulated copy of "new new super mario bros wii u deluxe switch 2 edition" on my pc

Sometimes they publish a masterpiece that really pushes the hardware limits, sometimes they publish a shitty lazy unimaginative port of a port

In both cases they sell millions of copies

Wait, Russia need to import potatoes? I thought it was a major local product

Maybe blocked by your country?

My country blocks all of them using the excuse of csam and cloudflare doesn't support them

Well, while I don't understand their stubbornness of supporting Google drive, (Google restricts it so much? Ok then just remove it and blame Google. Replace with Dropbox/WebDAV/ftp/whatever) IMHO they're right about the piracy. Years ago I tried to be an app developer for Android and iOS and I personally experienced that iOS users are willing to pay for everything. The in-app purchase to remove ads on iOS was bought by many, while on Google play literally a single person got it. Maybe it can be simply that because iPhones are 5x more expensive than the average Android (in my country there are no carrier locking and no carrier discounts at all), then users are wealthy or they're adult workers, while kids and students get the cheaper Android phones.

I closed both dev accounts years ago and now I'm android user. As an user, I simply cannot imagine paying $5 on Android for a glorified text editor with all the free alternatives that are available. Maybe android users are cost conscious?

This is the top 10 most sold apps in my country:

1. Game Booster 4x Faster Pro (users tricked by deceptive ads)
2. e-Connect (an app to manage a specific home security system)
3. Threema
4. Obd torque pro
5. IPTV extreme pro (used by pirates that want to watch soccer)
6. Peakfinder
7. Metronet (an app graphically identical to e-connect but with a different icon and name)
8. Analog Rolex Royal Watch face (with obvious trademark infringement but of course Google doesn't care)
9. Tasker
10. Nova launcher prime

Now, this is definitely alarming.

A smartwatch watchface is the #8 most sold app in a country with 30 million android users?????

#2 and #7 have a combined download count of 20k! And are in the top 10?????

Peakfinder is the #6???? How many people in October are trekking so much that they need to know which mountain are watching???

Tasker and nova launcher?? Yes I also bought those two apps but are for power users, the 1% of users.

Why would you purchase a license of Adguard when ublock origin not only is faster and better, but it's also free.

I can't even understand the concept of purchasing a license for a browser extension.

it's nice and faster than woocommerce, main issue is that almost every extra feature is provided by a plugin that needs a subscription and i hate subscriptions, i prefer to get a permanent license and pay extra for a new version only if and when it's actually updated

Thirty bees is a fork based on an ancient version of prestashop (1.6, released TEN years ago). While it's much better than what prestashop was at the time of the fork, IMHO it's better to go with prestashop 1.9 (now called 9) if you need any extra plug-in, as third party developers abandoned support for 1.6 a long time ago.

gdkchan? Who's that person? My username is gdkchan2 but it's purely a coincidence

Main hassle is to set up the disposable bank accounts in tax havens

as of now, nobody took the place of yuzu devs, for example

suyu (the most famous yuzu fork) got just 50 commits in the last 6 months and are almost all of them are tiny changes to the readme where they only change the discord link or just memes

Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.
