Let me guess ... they release AAA-Games months after the console/PC release and are wondering why people are not/no longer interested in buying the game for the iPhone!? Of course that makes no sense/even less if they charge a high list price for old games.
Also, based on my own experience ports usually are horrible, so I wouldn't touch them with a long pole.
Where are the AAA-Games that are Apple First?

I would also guess, that the whole Apple Game fetish will eventually die/disappear like the other 3(?) times they promised to push for games, that never shown any lifesigns.

You stated that "Airport employees have nothing to do with the Airlines that run flights out of said airport" which is not the case as I posted with links that show that the airlines are responsible for what airport employees do with passenger baggage. Perhaps you didn't intend it, but I think your comment is — at best — ambiguous as to who is ultimately responsible for checked luggage and completely inaccurate to claim that "Airport employees have nothing to do with the Airlines that run flights out of said airport.' I can think of a dozen jobs outside of baggage handlers where an airport employee is directly involved with the airlines: from ATC jobs directing ground and air traffic, to food service and fuel for flights, to tug operators pushing back airplanes there are clearly many jobs where non-airline employees have something to do with airlines at an airport.

While it's true that airports have their own baggage handlers it is not accurate to say that it's not the responsibility of the airline. The airline is responsible for the entire baggage process once you've checked your bag.

We issued a reimbursement check to the guest as a courtesy, even though we are not currently aware of any evidence that any Spirit employee was involved

Spirit has some balls. There's video, they pay off, but say not currently aware? Without video they wouldn't have paid off despite any other evidence. A cautionary tale.

LOL…you can play NBA2K on ATV but they can’t get their emulator to run?

The difference is that a download of NBA2K from the app store will include all of the game assets in the app, so the game itself is not subject to this max 500K limitation and will happily play. Conversely, emulators can't ship with actual games (ROMs) in the app distribution (since they are copyrighted). The user must load the game ROMs into the system, and Apple does not provide a persistent storage solution for downloadable content or misc file like these ROMs.

But the article appears to be saying that anything larger than 500K will use free space on the NAND. Most ATVs around now are probably 32GB, 64GB or 128GB in size for the NAND. Not seeing how it's that much of an issue beyond requiring the user with the ROMs to be aware of their space requirements and what space is left on their ATV. 

"Even the Apple guidelines that Begemann links to describes the 500KB as "limited." Anything saved over that limit can be deleted by tvOS itself at any point when the Apple TV 4K is running low on space."
