I'm a happy Apple Arcade user and it's been great for games that I used to love. Temple Run is an example. I bought it, loved it, but each update had more and more advertisements showing up in the game. A game I paid for. Now I have it in Arcade, and it's advertisement free.

I feel more taken advantage of by the original maker than I do Apple.

Hey me too. I love Apple Arcade and when my kids want a game, my first question is, “did you look on arcade?”

However, my belief is the entire App Store should be subject to the same rules as Apple Arcade. It would be a far healthier app ecosystem, far less predatory
