I think they did that, but not in the way the writer would like them to. If you open the App Store, and click “Arcade” on the bottom row, you get access to 200+ ad-free games of, AFAIK, decent quality.
And “reinvested” is the word to use, indeed, as those reinvestments bring in more money.
Of course, the existence of Apple Arcade also is an incentive for Apple not to keep the other side of the App Store look bad.
- malshe 4y ago100% agree with this. I got it for my daughter and she happily plays games on Apple TV with an Xbox controller. No ads and no IAP.

- knolan 4y agoApple Arcade on Apple TV is pretty good for kids. There’s some really nice actual games there. My seven year old has enjoyed Sneaky Sasquatch, Assemble With Care, Simon’s Cat, Alba, Lego Builders Journey and What the Golf. All have had interesting aspects to them. Exploration of large world maps, manipulation of 3D objects, spatial and physical reasoning. There’s plenty of reading too.
