The world has changed. A lot! I guarantee side-loaded Fortnite-type addiction games are going to have a field day, and no one will be the wiser.

While there is some truth to that, for the last 20-28 years the Mac has been exposed to the internet and all those issues you talked about. That’s at least half of the years the Mac platform has existed. If I people are scared, by all means use the App Store, but should users be forced to? I don’t know, it really doesn’t matter to me. Most of the in app purchases are more of a scam that more people fall for than bad actors making evil apps.
