While we don’t have the full story here, I’m betting that Valve isn’t being entirely forthcoming on the reason.
One of the features that Valve talked about was using their Steam Controller with the app.
Since the Steam Controller is not MFi-certified, there was speculation that this feature worked by emulating a keyboard, and sending input as key presses.
This similar to iCade, which has been in the App Store for quite a while.
I’d wager that it’s this bypass of the MFi program which is irking Apple, not the screen sharing function.

- e1ven 8y agoOh, don’t get me wrong, I think that Apple is totally wrong for blocking the app. If they’re blocking because it doesn’t use MFi that’s a blatant cash-grab. I’m not trying to justify it, just trying to understand wtf is going on.
