Primate Labs never called it a game. Apple throttled iPhone performance to maintain battery life on devices which had older batteries with reduced battery capacity. Doing so prevent unexpected shutdowns seen with some older Android phones. Apple should have been transparent about it, and when the occurred a year ago they offered anyone $29 battery replacements. (I took advantage of it and my older phone immediately got sprightlier.) But it certainly wasn’t a ‘game.’ And if you don’t want performance management it’s something you can flick off in Settings.
