Apple outlined steps MS could take to put Game Pass on iOS via the App store AND Gamepass is available on the iOS as a web app. If blocking Gamepass due to Apple Arcade was the goal, Gamepass wouldn't be there in any shape. That's a narrative someone is trying to create.sure sure…
It's a balance. Apple is providing a walled garden where the experience provided is controlled by Apple. They still have to be competitive so there will be exceptions. It is Apple's ecosystem and if you aren't into that, you have the Android world.You have seen Apple becoming more and more restrictive about what apps can offer and how they are allowed to look like as they started to make more and more money on services. Purely coincidental…
Creating the rules, breaking them for their own apps (and some big apps) all the time (hello Xcode on the sandboxed Mac App Store), and launching apps that compete with the other ones they are regulating… no conflict of interests there because… reasons .
It shows how begrudgingly they follow laws sometimes, you can read it when they remind people they “do respect the local laws and regulations”… as if it were optional and when they comply they make mockery of the intent of the law (see exception in the Netherlands for dating apps and pretending to get a cut of those payments they do NOTHING for).
