Apple says game streaming services like Microsoft's xCloud violate App Store policies

07 August 2020
This applies to Nvidia's GeForce Now and Google's Stadia as well. It's why xCloud testing on iOS was ended early.

      So, if Sony decides to launch PS Now for mobile devices... iOS is out too. The gaming streaming war just begun.

        Eliminating competition on the app store I see. Disgusting, but nothing new for Apple.

          I hope Apples monopoly will somehow be broken.

              Well I understand why Apple didn’t allow xCloud on their store but if you come to think about it, a game like Roblox also includes games inside it, does apple review all those games? or it’s just a move against Microsoft?

                  Aww, someone did something before the fruit. And now they need to sue again, because they were slow. I hope they lose this case.

                    Basically apple is saying, "how dare they try to provide games to users outside our app store and take away our chance to milk them more".

                    Poor ios users. Thats why I hate walled gardens. The quicker people make apple understand that their walled garden approach sucks, the better it will be

                          So, iOS user will never get this game streaming function.

                            Buy how does the mediocre GPU of Mobile phones run those high graphics games?

                              Somehow these streaming services are different from existing ones? Nope, just Apple desperately trying to hold onto as many monopolies as possible, again.

                                Also I do not think these game streamung platforms are too used. Just here and there. Anyway if you can afford an Iphone you can afford much more stuff to keep you entertained

                                      Apple is just making sure there won't be any competition to their own game streaming service.

                                        If you got Xbox games on your phone you will not waste your time on playing the silly apple games.
