Binding of Isaac is a game that takes hundreds of hours to beat, and worked well on iPad. It cost $15. It was removed and so Edmund McMillen the creator resolved to never publish on Apple platforms again. Disappointing for me because his new game is Windows only, but I can’t blame him. I could have sworn there was a discussion about this years ago but I went looking for it on HN and just found a comment I made years ago, funny how that shakes out.

There is a windows emulator called gamehub which can run this game on Android. Android is still leas restrictive than ios

> Edmund McMillen the creator resolved to never publish on Apple platforms again It was only temporarily banned. It's currently still on the App store since 2017.

FWIW I witnessed a friend of mine playing Mewgenics via Proton on his Arch desktop. Seemed to work fine. So, only Windows-only to the usual degree, it doesn't seem to have any sort of problematic DRM or anti-cheat to worry about.

  Binding of Isaac runs great via steam/Proton haven't even thought about if its native Linux or not.

  Neither Windows nor Linux is owned by Apple
