Nothing wrong with those indie games, but what role does Apple play here, that justifies crediting them for innovation, asking money, etc?! Isn't that like praising Amazon Web services for this great FOSS ecosystem they "innovated"?
Wouldn't it make more sense to pay indie developers instead of Apple? Apple could still offer a curated list to promote their hardware etc. but in the store front setup it looks like the only "innovation" they made was tax.
- interpol_p 4y agoI think my message came off unclear. I wasn't praising Apple for the games themselves, but rather the policy of: - No ads - No in app purchase - Curating a collection of good games to include on the platform Apple does pay the developers for being on Apple Arcade. Including funding the development of bespoke titles, as well as ongoing payments for the duration the game is listed on the Arcade service.
