It's a clever marketing tie in, but in a bit of irony, the game won't be available on any Apple platforms.

This is pretty neat, but now Apple needs to partner with one of these game companies to release an actual “Mythic Quest” game to tie into that show!

Yeah just add more fuel to the fire of the "Apple is buying EA" rumormill. If Ted's coming to FIFA than Apple has their foot in the door.
