Tired of all the whining of people upset that Apple enforces its own rules of its own store on its own platform.
If you install a cloud gaming product, it effectively acts as a wrapper for any and all games added. Yes, Apple wants and requires games to be installed to use their latest hardware. Not just stream from Microsoft, Google, or anyone else. Duh. They sell hardware and related services. Why would they allow a product that is antithetical to their core businesses?
An iPhone is not just a dumb terminal for any company to sell anything for any price. If you don't agree and want a free for all, other companies make other products. Don't buy an iPhone.
As for this immature notion that Apple is "greedy" - it is a BUSINESS. Tim Cook and every other exec have a legal responsibility to increase revenues, profits and ultimately shareholder value.
They don't get to sit in a drum circle and smoke out until someone suggests "hey, let's just let Microsoft take over the AppStore Games category and hope whatever they stream to our users will leverage our newest innovations and drive new device purchases every once in a while."
It doesn't work that way. It never will.
