This argument between Microsoft and Apple is far from new, but it has resurfaced again. Earlier in the year, Apple opened its App Store to game streaming services, such as the commonly used Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer already spoke out about Apple earlier this year, saying that Apple's cloud changes haven't gone "far enough" for Xbox. […]
