Apple allows retro console game emulators on App Store, but there’s a catch

Apple has announced that the App Store is now open to retro game emulators. The tech giant recently updated its App Store’s app review and submission policies for developers, allowing developers to make emulators for retro console games along with the ability to download files. The company says developers will have to comply with the applicable copyright laws, meaning the tech giant might ban apps that let users download pirated games. Moreover, the tech giant said that these retro console emulators will have to use in-app purchases to buy digital items. It looks like these changes are in response to the recent antitrust lawsuit filed by the United States against Apple, accusing the tech giant of operating a monopoly.
