We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
or a "license" for the show to show up. i dont know how this would work vs in app.
I wonder if that's specifically if you want to download the game to your device to not stream it. Maybe if it's just streaming the game then within the one app is fine?
I could see them requiring game purchases to go through their stuff but requiring separate app executables all uploaded on the store is bonkers
nice, I think they were feeling the squeeze by some of the ads that Microsoft had done with Android phones + Tablets. Hoping that the iPad app gets updated soon for xCloud/Streaming, would love to play on my iPad.
Reading the description I have no idea how this is going to work ... Sounds nothing like how the systems are designed to work now... Apple is so fucking odd. Like this is *so much more work* for Apple, hahahah. Sometimes they tie themselves in knots over this stupid shit. I also don't know why this doesn't apply to Netflix, Hulu, Google Play, HBO, etc... Like, shouldn't every movie on Netflix, then, requie you to download an app to play that movie...?

I think it means a dedicated streaming app per game. Not a iOS build of the game. Still goes against the whole idea of friction free consumption with streaming.
Basically if you want to play destiny and Forza you need to download the Forza Xcloud App and the Destiny Xcloud App. Repeat for all games on the service...despite the fact that the app is just the same shell pointing to a different game.
Beginning to think people aren't reading the article here, they want separate apps for each game, with gamepass constantly rotating games in and out of the service I couldn't imagine how many messes such a policy of Apple's would create.
This is just Apple trying to shift blame to stadia and Xbox, policy still is basically the same just different wording.
honestly i don't think microsoft is going to put xcloud on ios under these rules. google may try with stadia tho.
Exactly. The is a pointless change that really does not help Xcloud. Also, I wonder how it will work with downloading Xbox titles via App store, without issues. Updating is going to be a pain.
Also, does this not bypass the 30% stuff Epic is all annoyed about? Just put Fortnite in Game Pass lol.
That's such a weird restriction. It sounds like it might be feasible for a company publishing all the games it will stream for its service, like Ubisoft. But the customer confusion is going to be huge. App Store will have thousands of console/PC games listed that can't actually be played locally on device, require a subscription to a given service to play, maybe even different apps for the same game on different services, etc. I have to assume more details will come out that clarify how this would work for a streaming service featuring hundreds or thousands of games, because as-is, this sounds like a terrible experience compared to having just an xCloud app. I get that it might be easier for them to maintain control over issues that arise with individual apps and of course get those in-app purchase 30%s if it's on an individual basis, but what a bad experience for us.
[CNBC] Apple issues new rules allowing cloud game streaming on iOS: xCloud, Google Stadia permitted(Still the same shit btw)
Sounds to me like each game needs to have its own icon which will just be a thin client for the xcloud launcher
Apple remains to be garbage when it comes to these things. MS just make a remote play app for my xbox so I can move on with my life. They'll never change lol.
Nah, they want to use Apple payment system for all in game dlc too.
Wow, this title got me really excited. And then I read it, and I feel like this changes nothing.
Yup. This and MS having to submit each game individually, means it still won't be happening.
Sorry, people who just read the title and nothing else.
Wow, this is fucking stupid. Why do they have to be so god damn backward with this? It's the money isn't it?
