Apple Arcade
As an all-you-can-eat model, Apple Arcade offers developers a way to create games without relying on players opening up their wallets. However, in the years since its introduction, developers are getting worried about it, with one describing Apple Arcade as having the “smell of death.”
Developer sources of MobileGamer.Biz said that initial upfront payments from Apple were generous at launch, and that most games released in the opening years were profitable from the first day. Numerous developers were positive about the service, making the development of premium games on mobile more viable.
