Manton Reece explains how Panic’s hard stance of limiting games on their Catalog that were created with AI assistance stands in contrast with Apple’s iron grip on the App Store because of one thing — the Catalog isn’t the only place to legitimately get games for your Playdate:

Panic has achieved that balance with the Playdate. Catalog is a curated store. Seasons are even more limited, only the select games Panic wants everyone to have. Developers who don’t want to play by Panic’s rules can distribute games elsewhere. If only Apple would adopt the same approach.

This is the way.
