Phil Schiller and Valve will work to bring Steam Link to the App Store

Last Friday we echoed a news item in which it was stated that the developer Valve, had seen how its Steam Link application, did not pass the final test of the Apple Store supervisors, despite the fact that they had initially received the go-ahead from Apple. The reason given by Apple was that the application had "commercial disputes" with the company.

The problem is none other than the possibility that Steam Link offered us to be able to make in-app purchases, purchases that do not go through the App Store at any time, therefore, the Cupertino-based company does not take any penny from each purchase. Given the commotion that has been mounted, Phil Schiller has sent a statement to various media in which he states that they are working to solve this problem.

According to Phil Schiler, the company is the first interested in being able to offer the broad ecosystem of games and services that we can currently find on Steam, as long as the rules that all developers have to follow are not violated, such as integrated purchases. In the end, everything seems to indicate that we are going to be able to enjoy our favorite Steam games on the iPhone or iPad.

Eliminating integrated purchases may be a problem for many users, in addition to Valve, so it is more than likely that both companies reach a private agreement so that the percentage that Apple keeps from each purchase, is less than 30%, margin that Apple takes from each purchase or subscription that is made through its applications.

Steam Link is an application that allows us enjoy our Steam games through our smartphone. The only requirement is that our computer is turned on and we are on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer.

    Thanks for the info. Nacho! The truth is that I want to be able to plug my Apple TV into any television and play games.
    Even though my late 2013 iMac doesn't have the most desirable hardware to play with… (With little games like Diablo III or Starcraft it gets hot)
