Of all the anti-competitive things Apple is accused of, how is this one not already had the spotlight on it? Here Apple is literally subsidizing game development to make some developers able to make better games on their platform.
Those games look worthless. Apple will sanitize the games just like they are sanitizing all the video content they’ll offer on their TV service.
Not even Disney goes “family only” content. Apple kind of looks like they’ve gone down that path...
I haven’t seen anything worth playing yet. Hopefully they expand their content to adults...
What on earth is wrong with having a focus on family programming. Apple is not blocking you from watching porn on your phone. If you want edgy adult programming keep your Netflix. Some of us like family programming and would love a platform that I can actually watch with my kids and not wonder what inappropriate promo or show will come up next.

I will welcome the day when good programming returns. Instead, today, we have sex and violence as a substitute for good programming. It's akin to the food industry loading junk up with salt, sugar and fat to make it palatable.
I'm really looking forward to some quality single player games. MMORPGs are all over the App Store and I really don't care much for them. I hope Apple Arcade has a lot of single player games.
So your alpha testers are being charged .49 / month?
This must be a way to not pay your employees overtime, and avoid labor lawsuits...
Company memo: Wink. Wink. “You don’t have to play and give us feedback if you don’t want to.” Also, “Please don’t print out your resume on company printers”.
Apple sometimes does the strangest things. It’s like the bean counters are in open warfare with who ever is in charge of “don’t be evil”.
The way it written is confusing. It’s .49 a month with a free month. In a month the service will be launched with iOS 13. So the testing will have to be completed .. no ?
“Apple has invested more than $500 million dollarson Apple Arcade so far, and is set to showcase over 100 titles at the mid-September launch.”
“The internal carry test program will draw to a close with the launch of iOS 13, according a report by 9to5 Macon Saturday morning”.
So employees after release pay .49 a month. As of now there has been no consumer pricing set.
I'd fully expect it to be $5/mo, perhaps less as an intro. Why that? It matches another gaming app subscription (plus some productivity too) coming this fall from that "other OS. There's price matching going on with services for obvious reasons. None of them want to appear too much more (or less!) expensive .
