You no longer need to use Apple TV's small Siri remote to play games on this device. Every step Apple takes makes the small media center for the TV look more like a video game console. The new tvOS 10 operating system is giving developers the ability to ask the user for an external command that is different from Apple's Siri Remote.
Although the Apple TV remote control is more useful than any of its predecessors, unfortunately it is not useful at all to be used with games. Allowing developers to make their games thinking of more complete controls that allow more options and controls, is giving Apple TV the possibility of hosting more serious and evolved games than those it had until now.
Eliminating the option that an Apple TV game has to be played yes or yes with the Siri Remote allows developers not to find the obstacle of adapting the game to the official Apple remote control, but rather to focus on improving the playability of the titles developed. Many iOS games already offer support for external controls from Apple. If these controls are now allowed to also be compatible with Apple TV, developers will be able, for example, to stop using the Siri remote's touch panel. In addition, we will not have to worry about whether we will have to buy a different controller with each game since Apple, by opening the development of controls to third parties, has also given the mandatory indications of the controller, so the same controller will work for all games .
At the same time, Apple does not forget the Siri Remote and asks the developers that although they allow the use of external controls, the games are developed making them minimally compatible with the original Apple TV remote control.
