Valve's Steam Link app has been rejected by Apple, leaving iOS users without the ability to stream their Steam games, at least without having to resort to another app.

Apple removes the Steam Link app from the iOS app store, all the details of this controversial decision

Apple has blocked the Steam Link app just two days after its arrival in the iOS operating system app store. Apple revoked its initial approval citing business disputes with application guidelines that were allegedly not made by the original review team. Valve appealed the second decision, explaining that the Steam Link app works as a LAN-based remote desktop, similar to numerous remote desktop apps already available on the App Store. Apple has refused to change its mind a second time.

The app used the same real-time H.264 encoding technology found on Valve's Steam Link hardware. With the app, most games in a user's Steam library can be played on their phone in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, but only when connected to the same home network as the PC or Mac running the game. For the best experience, we recommend using a 5 GHz, not 2.4 GHz network.

From Valve they say they are deeply disappointed by Apple's decision, since they have dedicated a large amount of time and resources to the development of the application, which has been blocked after the initial approval of the Cupertino company. What do you think of Apple's decision?
