- MBCook 4y agoThey earn a metric ton from IAPs, which is almost all consumable Smurfberries and such. I’m not saying there are no games. Games could easily be the biggest section of the App Store. I’m saying there are no *good* games, only those designed to force you to make IAPs. Stand alone titles that cost a few bucks (immediately or as a one time unlock) are basically dead compared to the era before IAPs existed.
