    lukus_W c'mon man you can't be serious, this is the same model as consoles and nothing has happened there:

    - The console manufacturer has to authorize you to sell games for their device
    - The console manufacturer gets a profit from each title sold by third parties
    - The console manufacturer has to approve you as a third party developer usually involving a significant amount of money in exchange for the software development kit

    And that business has been going on for quite some time without problems or anyone complaining about "alternate app stores available"
