I still really hate the “+” thing they have to do for Apple Arcade because the store doesn’t allow two apps with the same name and you can sell a game and also have it be a part of Arcade… just so weird.
Does the plus just mean nothing?
Most games released with a plus have some new features or modes. In app purchases are not allowed for arcade games. I got it because the bundle with iCloud storage and Apple Music is a better deal for my fam, and though I don’t game a lot on my phone, it’s nice to know I won’t encounter scam micro transactions when I’m trying to fucking relax.
Yeah, I wouldn't pay for the gaming because I don't game on my phone a lot, but included in the bundle it's not a bad library. There's a decent variety for all ages and not wading through the normal mobile cesspool is nice.
I think for some cases the app already in the App Store has ads and other monetisation (e.g. IAP). In these cases the app is modified to remove these and allow you to get the benefits that were behind a paywall in-game
Yeah, whereas if it’s a paid upfront app like Stardew, literally nothing is changed.
