VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users… For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?
From my understanding of the quoted text, that’s what the person is suggesting. That at a certain point, things shouldn’t any longer just work and users should be made to take responsibility.
