Gideon does nothing against Approach?

Question

So I'm new to MtGA and haven't played paper magic in over 15 years, but by my reading if my opponent controls Gideon with the emblem and then casts Approach of the Second Sun (for the second time) to win the game it seems like it would fail and the game would continue until he removed his own Gideon. Am I misunderstanding something? I just lost a game in MtGA to this exact situation.

Yes you are misunderstanding the ability.

0: You get an emblem with "As long as you control a Gideon planeswalker, you can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game."

The opponent is not his opponent.
