Maybe 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."
Gaming in the apple eco system is horrible already but not even be allowed to stream?
Extremely stupid, Outright hostile
"Business conflict"? Now Apple suddenly becomes a real obstruction in my life and ultimately an enemy. This is switch to android level of bad.

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

You need to make sure Subjects can find out what you needed, and why, and you can't change your mind later. These purposes do not need Consent. You don't need to Consent to…
> ... and you can't change your mind later. Is that a typo? Isn't GDPR the implementation of the right to be forgotten plus "left-the-fuck-alone after used your shitty site for 0.5 EUR to buy an emoji"? So you can request removal of all your personal information. Yes, Amazon needs your delivery and billing address, but they don't need the delivery address after delivery.
