Developers are optimistic about Apple Arcade, but not entirely

Apple Arcade

Last Monday, Apple presented four new services with which it wants to expand the number of income it obtains from this category, which is gradually becoming one of the most important, although it is still a long way from the money generated by iPhone sales to the company.

Although most of the details are not yet scarce, some developers say they are very optimistic about what Apple Arcade could mean for games on mobile platforms, some others say that this new subscription system should be taken with caution, since it is not known how the market will respond.

Developer Zach Gage says it's encouraging to see Apple want to offer higher-quality games on the App Store. This move by Apple encourages this community to improve the quality of the games available on the App Store, especially indie games, being one of the most important parts of this new platform.

Sean Krankel, from Night School Study, says that he hopes that subscriptions to this service will help to clarify the relationship between players and the service, also stating that thanks to the interest that Apple also shows, history games from this developer they would not be as successful as they have been in recent years.

However, some others are concerned that being exclusively locked into the Apple Arcade service is counterproductive for the income they can get from their creations. According to Adrian de Jongh, creator of Hiden Folks, he hopes that over time, the games that are initially funded, partially by Apple, will be able to reach other platforms.

Somewhat unlikely, since according to Apple, will be exclusive to your platform, which for something will partially finance them (or at least is what is supposed if you want them to be exclusive). Also, according to VentureBeat, these games will also not be available as a standalone purchase option on the App Store, a mistake that can cost developers dearly.

Some of the titles that will come to this exclusive Apple Arcade gaming platform, you can find them at this article, a platform that will be available in late fallat the earliest with more than 100 exclusive games. This new subscription system, of which we still do not know the price, will be available in more than 150 countries.
