The app store ate its own tail. When Apple first started pushing for games, many of the most "polished" cost about $9.99. apparently this was too high for consumers considering these were marketed along side $0.99 or free games that might be ad/dark pattern supported. Meanwhile consider other consoles. Games are all the same price around $60. The cheap/simple games are like $15. The pricing supports different business models although certainly in recent years the $60 releases are falling prey to gambling mechanics and other dystopian decisions.
