I think that was a bad call on Apple’s part, they should’ve let them on the store without the dumb every game needs to be a different app rule.

The fact that they can do it suggests that their market position is a little stronger than some HNers suggest it is - i.e. google allow competitors to stadia.

Would couldn't every game be it's own app with a Stadia shim to launch and then the Stadia store just links to the real app store apps? seems to get around that restriction.
