All I want is a streaming app for Game Pass. You know, like they promised in 2020!

@majorlinux what are you talking about? I have the cloud app and can play on android

@elan This is for iOS users.

@majorlinux That is true-- does it not work in safari? I don't have a mac..

@elan It does work on Webkit, but I'd like to get out of the browser.

Why not just have a dedicated app?

@majorlinux so there's an opportunity here for me to make an electron app, right?

majorlinux,

@elan I'd say so. Luckily, I think that app may already exist from a third party.

@majorlinux oh very cool. It not desktop?

@elan There are desktop versions of the app.

Looks like it is Flatpak or AppImage on Linux.

@majorlinux thanks for sharing that app!

@majorlinux As much as I dislike AHH, https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1743341929675493806?s=61&t=WOUcTsF69CSiBB-tJsdvLg

He has a Point.

#Apple has lost it's way.

Microsoft isn't being 100% greedy here, it's Apple primarily.
Microsoft can afford to fight them, just like EA did for Fortnite

@elan I'm not going to argue that Apple hasn't lost its way. It sure as shit has.

I still feel like Microsoft could also, just as easily, put a Game Pass cloud gaming client. Microsoft doesn't allow non-Game Pass games to be played on the cloud.

There isn't a reason Microsoft couldn't do this now and approach monetization later "as they work with regulators.”
