I wish Apple Arcade would just die
Here we go again. Every time there is an article about Apple Arcade we get a slew of sad sacks whining about the service. Absolutely feel free to not use it if you don't like it. Whenever my nieces come over to visit and steal my phone Apple Arcade makes sure they have a lot of fun games to play that don't cost me a fortune in in-app purchases. I think it's a great service and I hope it lasts a long time.

Those hating on this are simply not in the target demographic. Go look at the age rating for each title. They're all for 4yo and up. Apple realized there's a huge market of parents who won't allow standard app store garbage onto kid's devices, and so they served us up hundreds of decent options included with the monthly apple family plan.

Apple Arcade is a solution (I use that term lightly) to a problem Apple created. Decent games now hidden behind a subscription because Apple encouraged a race to the bottom which then became unsustainable.

Of course we have the right to complain about it.
