I’d be upset… except I don’t see any value to those services so I’m not subscribed in the first place.

Individually they're not that great but where I live family Apple One is priced barely above the price of 2 individual Apple Music subscriptions. You get some iCloud storage so that it is actually usable, then Apple TV+ which is pretty ok. Apple Arcade is the most underrated service ever - it unfucked mobile gaming by enforcing no IAPs.

enforcing no IAPs

What is IAPs here?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In app purchases. Apple Arcade games aren't allowed to include them.

That’s really incredible! I didn’t know they did that. I’m not a gamer so I’ve never paid much attention to Apple Arcade.

They have some unique exclusives. But some game decisions are very questionable at times due to the lacktherof of funding for development.

I think it’s rated just where it belongs. The only game I’ve played on it that didn’t feel like a lame mobile game was Slay the Spire.
