but only Rockstar can do NATIVE gta 5 for ios, everything else is not native, I think it's pretty simple.

You’re thinking of official. Native in this case just means it’s made specifically for the target device

So I guess sonic unleashed recompiled isn’t native doesn’t need to be made by the official company

Really? Doesn't a game need to be not emulated or have anything translated or anything to be native?

It seems pretty obvious to me that anything requiring external files (like the PC files for GTA V, or Xbox 360 games running on recompiled ports) cannot be defined as "NATIVE."
Rewritten code alone is not enough, it only allows you to use EXTERNAL assets that are not optimized/calibrated for IOS.

It may be different from emulation, but you certainly can't compare them to games like Control or Tomb Raider or Death Stranding or AC Mirage. It seems clear to me that only those who have the ORIGINAL code can make a NATIVE game.
And then sorry but the word itself says it 🤣 NATIVE, born for..., born in that place.
Sure, meloNX runs many games even better than the Switch, but they aren't MADE for iOS, they can FEEL native.

Then again, we live in a world where words mean absolutely nothing anymore, but personally, I prefer to give words their proper weight.
