Understanding legal arguments in Epic v. Apple: Tinder, itch.io and a naked banana

Apple doesn’t allow apps that contain third-party games inside its App Store, including Microsoft’s Project xCloud streaming service, Facebook Gaming (which is allowed on iOS but doesn’t contain games) and GameClub. GameClub was brought up by Apple’s Karen Dunn on Wednesday as an example of a competitor to Apple Arcade, the tech giant’s gaming subscription service, that is allowed on iOS. But that invocation drew ire from an unexpected source: GameClub itself. The company’s vice president of business development, Eli Hodapp, told The Washington Post that GameClub was rejected “well over a hundred times in our quest to getting on the App Store” and “has experienced unnecessary friction due to Apple’s requirements.”
