- Toutouxc 3y agoI have Apple Arcade as part of Apple One, but My Talking Angela 2? Delicious: Miracle of Life? Kingdoms: Merge & Build? They may not have microtransactions, but most of Apple Arcade games are still bullshit low effort games clearly aimed at kids.

For some things subscriptions were introduced to gain control over their product remotely, or to remove your ownership of a product.
- sillywalk 3y agoI've got Apple One, it does have some good games, but I HATE the AD Notifications that pop-up. Ads for other games.
