Last year, Apple had made the official announcement of the fourth gen Apple TV; they initially said that one of the major requirements would be to include the Siri Remote support in games. Shortly after that, the stance was reversed by Apple through a statement which stated that the support for Apple TV remote is also recruitment. Another thing that was hidden under the various announcements of the tvOS was also another reversal that was made by Apple. Now they have also stated that the MFi game controller has to be used by developers which are also a requirement.
With these updates, it can be safe to say that now the games which will be seen o the App Store for tvOS, which will not just work including the support for Siri Remote, would be required to also be Siri Remote supportive. There are various reasons as to why this may be notable. Firstly being that now there is a possibility that more complex games can be seen emerging on the platform of tvOS.
In terms of gaming, developers may get hindered if they just developed games only keeping in mind the Siri remote. On the other hand, this also means that those users who do not have a controller may moose loose the opportunity to get their hands on some of the best games that are featured on the app. Store. The only where they can go ahead and enjoy these games would be if they are willing to buy a game controller. We all know that consumers do not like it when it comes to purchasing something in order to use a feature and not be able to use it completely without opting to shell out money.
