- ehsankia 6y agoSo if Stadia disallowed the "Store" portion of the app, they could be allowed on there technically?
- amaccuish 6y agoNo because I think it would be rejected under the rule that the user has to own the host machine and it be on LAN... See App Store guidelines section 4.2.7: "The app must only connect to a user-owned host device that is a personal computer or dedicated game console owned by the user, and both the host device and client must be connected on a local and LAN-based network."
- Rebelgecko 6y agoDoes the iOS version of Steam Link not allow you to stream remotely like the Android and desktop versions?
- tanjtanjtanj 6y agoNot sure on steam link specifically but I have streamed games from my PS4 remotely using their app.
- brigade 6y agoThat section of the rules probably doesn't apply to the PS4 app because they mirror the entire OS of the PS4 instead of just the Steam app. (iOS steam link is local network only)
- wayneftw 6y ago> a user-owned host device So, they can transfer "ownership" to me whenever I use my personal computer that happens to be located in Google's cloud which, through a series of tubes, is in fact connected to my LAN-based network.
- jaywalk 6y agoI doubt it would be that simple. It seems like Apple's main objection is being able to play games on iOS that you haven't bought from the App Store.
- ehsankia 6y agoWith Plex, I can watch movies I didn't buy from Apple. With Kindle, I can read books I didn't buy through Apple. Hell again with Steam Link, I can play games I didn't buy through Apple. This is just pure monopolistic behavior, nothing less.
