FWIW, they're good about keeping that extensively exploitative crap out of their own less-exploitative arcade subscription.

- AlexandrB 5y agoOne hilarious consequence is games like Angry Birds Reloaded. This game has a variety of "boosters" that can be bought with a currency that I'm guessing could be bought for real money before. It can also be earned very slowly by playing the game. Now this game is on Apple Arcade with the boosters and premium currency intact, but no micro-transactions. As a result it just feels like a game with a borderline-useless booster system tacked on because the time needed to earn these boosters makes them impractical to use on a regular basis. It's a pretty good illustration of how MTX crappifies game design.
