- zepto 6y agoDo you think it’s possible to enter a credit card number into a steaming video of ‘friends’? A steaming app (game or not) can pop up a fraudulent credit card payment interface at any time.
- Hamuko 6y agoI don't see the point you are making. If video streaming is so bad, Netflix should not be on the App Store for "iDevice security". If video game streaming is so bad, Twitch should not be on the App Store for "iDevice security".
- zimpenfish 6y ago> If video game streaming is so bad It's not just streaming, it's interactive streaming where it could well happen that PayToWin / LootBox / etc games can appear. Now, of course, they already exist on the App Store (and I honestly wish Apple would ban them outright) but there, at least, Apple has some kind of leverage - with xCloud, they have none.
- seslaire 6y agoWhat capabilities would the streamed app have for deception that a website lacks?
- jonny_eh 6y agoNetflix offers "interactive movies", and those are apparently ok, for some reason.
- zepto 6y agoThat’s a fair point. At some point far down the road of complexity, those could cross into the territory of ‘gaming’. But Netflix can read the same rules the rest of us can, and know that they signed a contract that doesn’t allow App storefronts.
