Re: Apple rejects Valve’s Steam Link game streaming app over ‘business conflicts’
#72I am not really suprised by this, buying games and then play them outside of the appstore is not exactly in the spirit of the apples guidelines. This is clearly different from a remote desktop app. I'm 100% sure this would be allowed back in if they built it without the ability to make purchases... Not saying I agree with it but a Company such as Valve should know this is going to happen.
Apparently, Valve told Reuters it had disabled the in-app purchase options, and still got canned. https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-apple-steam/apple-blocks-s...
But GP was 100% sure!

I'm really looking forward to this on the Switch once the hacks start to solidify

#74Can someone please update this to the canonical non-amp URL: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/24/17392470/apple-rejects-va... Apart from not supporting googles effort to control the web, the amp page loads slower than the original and has a ridiculous “cookie agreement” with a button that doesn’t work.
This page is hosted by the verge themselves so has absolutely nothing to do with Google trying to control the web. It also does not load slower.
The concept of amp is google trying to control the web.
Also, my understanding is that all amp pages have to load the required js from an amp project cdn, which is ultimately a google cdn.
And yes, it most definitely does load slower for me - I have nothing but a blank white page for several seconds.

#75Wow, when trying to access this from the EU, I'm blocked by this huge pop-up telling me to either accept their tracking or fuck off. The cookie policy makes no mention on how to access the site without clicking "I accept", it just directs you to optout.aboutads.info. https://i.imgur.com/dK73MUi.png Is this really GDPR compliant?
No. Basically the GDPR is structured around a whole bunch of reasons why you might _need_ to store and process data about people ("Subjects"), for which you have implicit permission because it's necessary to something you're doing for the Subject. 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…
Tumblr is not any better. No ways to access any page without clicking OK

If you have JS disabled (or use noscript or umatrix or similar addons) you can just scroll down without needing to accept anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is quite obviously an error state, likely caused by an extension of yours. Have you tried using Amp in a fresh install of a different browser? Using different network settings?
It seems very likely that you are the reason amp doesn't work for you.
And this is coming from an amp hater.

#80People who go on and on about the Google and Amazon "monopolies" -- which only benefit consumers with low prices and expansive services -- this is what actual monopolistic behavior looks like. Apple controls access to a significant share of the mobile application industry and it directly abuses that market power to harm customers by reducing competition and artificially raising prices. Apple is being sued in both US…
Is there Amazon Kindle app for iOS? If there is, isn't it the exact same type of app as Steam Link? Access your content library, buy more content.
If Apple lets Amazon do this (presumably because Amazon is too big to ignore) and won't let Steam do it (because Steam isn't big enough), then this feels more like a cartel than monopoly.
