“New options would add more competition” to app stores, the company says.

I would never use it, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea. On the other other hand, I think most people would be confused if they had to use multiple app stores with some apps being exclusive to one of them.
So, this mostly seems like a way to promote adware apps, like those silly casual games that all look the same.
Maybe it’s actually not that bad an idea. I’m pretty curious to see how this turns out on iOS specifically.
More competition is good, but Facebook isn’t exactly my first choice to trust as an app provider - I’d rather have Microsoft. Maybe they’d even add some sort of Game Pass experience.
So it’s epic games store saga all over again? It won’t get any better with an even more controversial company.
Not new, very similar to the ecosystem that Tencent and Ali did in China. App-based ecosystem. They are especially good on android since the google marketplace is really lacking in good quality control.
What even happened to Farmville and all those apps that used to run through Facebook?
