Facebook Gaming is Facebook's gaming and video game streaming platform, we could say that Facebook's Twitch but including access to video games. In August of last year, Facebook launched the Facebook Gaming app for iOS but eliminating all available games in order to get approval from Apple.
For a few hours, according to The Verge, Facebook has launched worldwide the web version of Facebook Gaming, Facebook's streaming video game platform, following the same path as Microsoft, Nvidia's GeForce and Amazon Luna.
Apple has received a great deal of criticism from Microsoft, Facebook and others for its policy by not allow apps on iOS that work under a video game subscription. Although he relaxed the guidelines by opening the doors to these applications, the change was not enough for these services and they have all followed the same path: using web apps.
According to Vivek Sharma, vice president of games at Facebook, to The Verge:
We've come to the same conclusion as others: web apps are the only option for streaming cloud games on iOS right now. As many have pointed out, Apple's policy of 'allowing' cloud games on the App Store doesn't allow for much.
Apple's requirement that each cloud game have its own page, go through a review, and appear in search listings defeats the purpose of the cloud game.
These obstacles prevent gamers from discovering new games, playing between devices, and instantly accessing high-quality games in native iOS apps, even for those who don't use the most modern and expensive devices.
