Unfortunately I was proven to be right about Riley Testut. He's yet another greedy person barely batter than Apple. After bitching 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.

€0.50 per download is unsustainable for a free app supported entirely by donations; agreed. Cannot and will not argue with that at all.
You know what is sustainable for a free app supported entirely by donations? Publish the said free app in the App Store globally, by not opting out of Europe for the said app on the approved and listed entry for the rest of the world: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688
Total cost there will be only the annual developer fee ($99/year last I checked forever ago), which is also billed for those that want to publish in third party app stores like the AltStore in the EU as well, on top of the €0.50 per download CTF.
