Unfortunately I was proven to be right about Riley Testut. He’s yet another greedy person barely batter than Apple. After removed to Apple to remove GBA4iOS from the App Store he’s now leveraging Delta to force people into his AltStore.

Delta has finally made its way to the App Store. Additionally, the Delta developer has also published their alternative marketplace, AltStore, in the EU today.

If you’re in the EU you’ll only be able to get Delta on the AltStore and that requires:

This is complete bullshit he could’ve just launched Delta on the App Store in Europe as well but he decided not to.

Thanks Riley Testut for being a dick to the people that actually forced Apple into allowing alternative app stores in the first place.

    Do we have to assassinate someone’s character over this?

    Yes, he’s acting in very bad faith, he launched Delta on the US App Store and NOT on the EU… Apple approved Delta for distribution and as so it can be distributed in all stores - not only in the US.

    This is was a dick move to push EU people into the AltStore. If Apple made alternative app stores available in the US as well then this guy would’ve never published the app on the App Store.

    If you want Delta in the EU, download AltStore.

    I’m going to say again: AltStore is either payed or requires that constant refresh thing. It doesn’t make sense for make the app free on the US and force EU users to pay…

    Testut was supposed to come back home to Apple just because they said so, but I think he did the right thing by sticking to his plans and foiling Apple’s.

    … again and how does that work when he only “stick to the plan” in the EU? Why does US users have access to Delta for free while other have to pay?
