In response to demands from Chinese authorities, Apple has reportedly purged thousands of games from the country's local version of the App Store in 2020, and there are likely more on the chopping block.
Following previous warnings to China's iOS developers, and suspending updates, Apple has reportedly now removed a large but unspecified number of videogame apps from the region's App Store.
According to the
Wall Street Journal, the titles affected are chiefly paid gaming apps. Reportedly, the China government revised its laws in 2016 to say that such titles must be officially licensed by the authorities before they can be sold.
