Apple Says Cloud Gaming Services Like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud Violate App Store Guidelines

[Totally]

mmm...
I'm lost
if I follow Apple, all of these apps should be removed from the Apple store.

or.... Apple just want their 30% of profit?
if its the case, they just have to say it. "give us 30% of your profit"

They probably already did but MS/Goog most like said no, and thus we're here no pay, no play.

I know that a lot of you all have rather strong opinions about Apple, but in all seriousness, are any of you actually an owner of an Apple computer and who cares about this for that machine? I suspect that most people who are buying a Mac aren't buying it to play games and is certainly not a primary concern. I would expect someone who has the money to buy a Mac, probably also has the money to have different devices for playing games if that floats their boat. Just saying.

Apple's policy is light years ahead of Android's when there is literal malware available on Play Store since you can upload and sell almost any crap disguised as an app/game.

Their policy is based around "if you don't give us a cut of the $ you can't be on our platform" plain and simple.

Their policy is based around "if you don't give us a cut of the $ you can't be on our platform" plain and simple.

And that's where we come to that there's much less crap since people aren't willing to pay that they can release as much crap as in Play Store.

I have to agree with Apple on this one. The potential security holes in the app itself, the ability of track users, anything that could lead to the exploiting personal information all can be avoided if the app stayed out of the app store. We all know how great m$ is with security, Apple being Apple will not look twice at the app once its in the store, they have a habit of ignoring complaints about an app.

XCloud is Xbox streaming. Prove Xbox One was infected by a virus. XCloud = interactive Netflix with "compressed pixels".

Apple has NOT removed Sony's Playstation 4 Remote Play. Playstation 4 Remote Play enables an iOS device to remotely control and stream games from PS4 via local network WiFi.

No idea what you're trying to say here.

Read your own argument. Xcloud is Xbox device streaming from the web. Your "We all know how great m$ is with security " argument is BS.
