I wan't to know who is actually fighting for this feature? Not just asking for it, but has an actual catalog of apps that are so unique and can't be found on the App Store. While also having the actual app package file reading to load.

    Not me fighting, but the EU for me 👍 For example, there are no emulators in the App Store. Remote cloud PC streaming applications are prohibited in the App Store and cloud game streaming applications are also prohibited.

    - Xbox App

    It worked just fine for me a few weeks ago testing out a Backbone.

    - Safari

    The Xbox.com streaming works fine and a couple decent emulator websites run too.

    - Steam

    I never bothered trying. Even their website they say it's possible.

    Native apps are always better and more powerful than this webapp crap. No GeForce Now app, no XCloud app, no PlayStation Now app, no shadow app. No emulators allowed. Fortunately, that will change next year 😃👍 I’m already looking forward to it.
