    Yeah personally I figure 5 bucks for a ton of games on catalog to rent is fair for me as I’ve spent wayyy more for games that I only played once or twice. My phone has 4 PAGES of games and folders with games in them as well that I’ll most likely never touch again due to my...oh look there’s a rabbit mentality...this gives me a chance to play some of the games I might not have taken a chance on and still have some great titles that I would’ve i.e. Cat Quest II and the Tortuga Team game (I got to beta test the 1st 3 games they came out with...they even let me rename all of the achievements on the 2nd game cause they loved me so much for helping) are ones I would pick up no matter what. But games like Sayonara and Where the Cards Fall look cool but most likely wouldn’t play otherwise.
    Also I didn’t know that you actually download the games to your phone. I was thinking that you did everything through the “Arcade App” now I understand it differently which is still fine as well. I’m a nub lol

    This seems to be a huge gamble for everyone involved A gamble which I hope pays off I wonder what happens when a games dowload numbers go down Is the game removed by Apple or is the dev allowed to do so or are they locked in a timed contract and have to just sit it out till said contract is up due to the possibility that they were paid up front or is revenue even dependent on downloads Just wondering not sure I guess I’m hoping for this to workout for everyone

    Can anyone recommend a good accessory to attach a Dual Shock 4 or an Xbox One controller to an iPhone? Preferably one you've used yourself and can attest that it fits well and is solidly built.

    Jovitec Foldable Controller Clip Mobile Phone Plastic Holder Smartphone Game Clamp for Xbox One Controller (2 Pack) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DQBPH15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_JghVlIEdJcNBq

    I got this from amazon for £9, and that’s for 2.

    Its obviously not the highest grade but it holds my phone fine (Max in a case) and it’s cheap enough to not worry about it inevitably giving up the ghost one day.

    Well i'm sure Apple have done their homework, at $5 its such a bargain. And yeah be interesting to know if they keep adding to the library or indeed take some games away. Be interesting to know what devs have been told but i havent read anything

    Hi, any reason my threads was removed from Apple Arcade forum? It was “Sonic Racing”, “Possessions” and “Painty Mob”. Did I post the threads incorrectly?

    I can not believe that Apple who you say Apple ah will let people with only an Ipad wait 11 day’s longer for Apple Arcade than people with Iphone’s.

    I did message board dummy about it as there is no thread for it still and I wanted to leave my impressions.

    But yes definitely worth checking out in short.

    Edit; also anyone else finding their ratings for games vanishing on arcade? Some of my ratings and reviews are gone.

    Install the public beta. beta.apple.com and remove the beta profile day before it officially releases so you get the official release update.

    Iv been using iPad OS 13.1 beta for a few days and its super stable

    I’m sure that Apple and the devs have some sort of no talkie agreement in their clauses so they can’t discuss pay structures and payouts. BUT since I believe you download the games you want they can surely track what revenue gets split to whom pretty fairly. Let’s say a Squuenix game gets 2mil downloads compared to an indie dev who get only 100k. The share will not be pooled together and distributed evenly. That wouldn’t make much sense for the big boys to sign up on. But it’s Apple and who knows.
