#2They've just made a huge mistake. Upset the hardcore gamers market to stop essentially a remote desktop app?

I guess the problem is the store. The app allows to access valve's store (which is far cheaper than games in the apple store). If they remove the ability to buy games I am sure the remote desktop app would be ok.
I am guessing anyway

And yet the Steam Store app is available on the iOS App Store.
This is a very strange decision.

I don't have any apple products, however can you buy a RDC app and remote to windows and buy apps in the windows store?

I have a hard time with this explanation, as the Steam Store is already available through the iOS Steam app which is available on the Apple app store.

It's a fluff app for messaging and so on, no actual gaming.

#8Maybe some mid-level manager at Apple is trying to get a promotion with this.
"Look at how loyal and useful I am to the company. I saw this revenue-threatening thing in the news and I killed it."

You know what let's me access the Steam store (and many others)? Any VNC client to my other computer.
Or just the regular Steam app. Check the screenshot page on the AppStore and you'll see the store with prices and all.
