Hey Apple, Sideload THIS! – The TouchArcade Show #518

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we once again dive into the latest Apple antitrust drama. This week it’s the Netherlands which is requiring Apple to allow outside payments inside of dating apps, of all things. You can tell Apple is not thrilled about it. We then jump into the gaming news of the week which includes the sale of everybody’s favorite viral sensation Wordle to The New York Times and the shuttering of yet another free to play mobile game based on a mega IP. As always these stories are all linked in the Show Notes below.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to podcast@toucharcade.com. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
