Apple refused to publish games on the App Store stating that the tech giants did not give individual games for review.
HIGHLIGHTS
Apple’s App Store policies require companies to submit individual games for review.
Apple said games are different from music and movies as they are interactive.
Facebook said because of Apple's policies, iOS users will have to settle with inferior gaming experience.
Apple has refused to list games from Microsoft's Game Pass, Google's Stadia, and Facebook's Gaming App on App Store. This is because the tech giants won’t submit individual games to Apple for a review, as per a report by Business Insider. Apple does not review content from streaming services or Music apps like Netflix or Spotify. This is because these services are not interactive, like games are, according to Apple. Consumers have certain expectations when they look for games on the App Store, Apple states. They look for game content, but also searchability, in-app payment through Apple’s built-in services and App Store charts.

The Facebook team was not surprised. It wasn’t the first time Apple had said no to the Facebook Gaming app. Or the second. Or even the third.
Since February, Apple has rejected at least five versions of Facebook Gaming, according to three people with knowledge of the companies, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the details are confidential.
