They should do the same on the Play and App Store.

Fortunately, very little value would be lost.

I am very sure that it's more than 95%

At least 95% of them are shit anyway 😂

I really enjoy Apple Arcade. Quality games for the kids with no ads or micro transactions.

Yes. It’s $6.99/mo for access to a load of games with no ads or IAPs. Half of the games on there are only available on Apple Arcade, the others are editions of regular App Store games but with no ads and all the IAPs already unlocked.

It kinda sucks that Apple gatekeeps certain games behind the subscription though… I wanted to play Mini Motorways on mobile, but it’s only available through Apple Arcade. For comparison Mini Metro is a OTP of $5 iirc.

It's Apple, ofc it is 🥲

It comes with Apple One. Not sure if it’s a standalone subscription though.

Apple Arcade is $6.99 a month.
