Apple is offering developers an extra incentive if they agree for their game to only be available on Arcade, withholding their release on Google’s Play app store for Android smartphones or other subscription gaming bundles such as Microsoft’s Xbox game pass. But after a few months of exclusivity, developers will be free to release their games on PCs or other games consoles such as Nintendo’s Switch or Sony’s PlayStation.

so apple wants to have the next "Epic store fiasco"? good luck with that shit....

Go an do one you nonce.

I mean, Apple already offers the financial incentive of "people paying for your game" on their platform, since most stuff on Google Play is free anyway. My guess is that this is going to lead to more shovelware on the App Store, since literally everyone will want to put their games on there.

>this is going to lead to more shovelware on the App Store
cant be any worse than google play

I thought apple already had sufficient numbers in terms of ios only apps. Like there's no FTL on android for one.

saving? are you daft? it has monthly subscription, its like Origin/EA access in that regard that requires you to have an overpriced device. It will probably be about 20-30$ a month

if it was any other company id be happy thou.... seems to be indie game focused

Just wait, soon the App Store will be rife with garbage that would have stayed contained on the Play Store.

monthly fee is better than every game having microtransactions which is the current state of mobile gaming. a lot of games force you to wait a certain period of time to play again or you can pay to play now

cringe

it also means that the games go through a cycle and you wont own the games. If you end the subscription or the game is removed from the cycle you wont get to play....

you are basically paying rent instead of buying them. Atleast origin access costs about 25$ a year

who cares? 99.9% of people play a game, beat it, and never play it again
