Microsoft and Apple are arguing over cloud gaming apps again

Microsoft says Apple’s changes aren’t enough.

Microsoft specifically calls out Apple’s requirement for multiplatform services, like Xbox Cloud Gaming, to make all content, subscriptions, and features available within an iOS app as an in-app purchase (IAP): As observed by the CMA in its Mobile Ecosystem market study, the 30 percent fee imposed by Apple on IAPs is the result of a lack of competition in the distribution of native iOS apps. There will then be plenty of time for Microsoft and Apple to continue arguing between November and December, ahead of a final report in either February or March next year.
