Music streaming services have become the most widely used method of consuming music, which in turn has allowed reduce piracy to levels never seen before. The same is happening with streaming video services. The next to jump on this bandwagon will be video games.
Google launched its video game streaming platform, Stadia, at the end of last year (it is not compatible with iOS devices at the moment). Microsoft is also working on its own with xCloud (The beta for iOS is now available). But they are not the only ones, although if the best known to belong to the big.
The French streaming game service Shadow has confirmed that Apple has removed its app from the app store, because it does not meet the guidelines established by Apple and that every application must comply if it wants to be available in the App Store.
Shadow allows users to play their PC titles on any other device, even if they are not able to do so due to hardware limitations. The company confirmed the disappearance of the application stating that it will investigate with Apple the reason for it.
Due to lack of action according to a specific part of the Apple App Store guidelines, our iPhone / iPad mobile apps will be removed.
We are currently investigating the situation and will work on a plan to bring Shadow back to all mobile users as soon as possible!
Of course, we will keep you posted on this matter with information as it becomes available.
As we can see in the detail of the publication Shadow has not learned in detail about the reasons that have led to Apple's decision, but it is most likely that the ability to buy games through the app, skipping the App Store and thus avoiding paying the corresponding 30%, has been the main and only reason that has caused their expulsion.
In the nuuuuuuuuuube Nacho, in the nuuuuuuuuube ...
Get down from there. With all the love.
Greetings.
