Apple Arcade will do fine. The games are good and reasonable most people. AAA games they are not, however I have thought AAA games are resource heavy compared to what most people can develop and pay for. Vast majority of games those big teams and budget to make, yet are absolutely fun and engaging. Mobile is where the main market is. I’m tired of needing an external battery or charger for these intensive games. 

Apple Arcade, I can pick up a good game, play it, or delete it when done. No ads, or in game purchases which everyone complains about. Part of a bundle and is a no brainer. 

The issue is that Apple Arcade games are required to support iPhone 7. So that new M2 chip and A16 chip Apple will brag about will NOT be utilized fully.

Also most of the games aren’t exclusive either. It’s really pathetic. Didn’t even get the TV+ treatment. 

I don't think you understand what market, or aims that Apple is going for. Apple has the stats behind what they are doing. For our family and many other families I suspect, and specially those with bundles, Apple Arcade works great. The new chips are not in consumer hands, why do you think they would be fully utilized by a game? Most games will not fully utilize the chips anyhow. How many of the top 10 or 100 iOS games fully utilize all of a chip? How do you know the game is fully utilizes all of a chip? How many people know or care that a game fully utilizes a chip?

Quibi  also had a “sticky” subscription model.

If the content sucks, no one cares. 

Change the headline to “APPLE is positioned to dominate the gaming market, but won’t”

You also think Apple makes most of it's money from gaming...... so not exactly the best informed source on the subject. 

No. Apple makes most of its money from iPhone hardware. They make most of App Store money from gaming.

Edit:
Because I know more people with bad reading comprehension will continue to reply:

I used the word “dominate” because Apple still has platforms they have barely set foot in like Mac, consoles and 1st party IPs. Apple Arcade is a joke compared to Nintendo, Microsoft etc.

When I say “Apple”, I literally mean Apple. Not EA, not Rovio, not Zynga.

Game Center has been garbage for over a year and Apple has ONE game on the App Store that no one even knows about.

Literal quote from you:

"Apple has also shown games have made them the most money and have created Apple Arcade."

There is no reading comprehension issue here. You said games make Apple the most money. Hop back in the clown car and move on. 

Yeah in response to where most of their App Store revenue is from.

OBVIOUSLY.

Nice try.

The ease at which you are dishonest is really remarkable. 

Here is the comment you were responded to, it was mine, it has nothing to do with the App Store. Literally not even mentioned. It was about why Apple isn't going to make a competitor to the UE. 

"It’s pretty obvious why the don’t. They feel resources are better spent on things. 

This is going to blow your mind. Apple has way more information on what it’s customers do with its products and what features they want than you do. 
Seriously, Apple has demonstrated it knows what’s it doing. Sorry your pet project doesn’t make the cut. I’m empathetic, I’d like Aperture to come back but it ain’t happening." 

Oh yeah you got mad that I said Apple makes most of App Store money from games. Which makes sense that Apple should take gaming seriously.

I don’t think any AppleInsider regulars think Apple makes most of their money from gaming. That’s stupid. Have some respect. We all know Apple makes most money from iPhone which is why people here often criticize Apple. Also why critics call Apple a “one trick pony”. 

Nice try taking it out of context though.

Finally we agree, what you said was indeed stupid. Glad you caught up. 

As for the context, that was the full context. You just love talking out you arse. 

Anyway, good luck with you feverish Apple gaming dreams.
