Apple shifting Apple Arcade strategy, canceling development of some games

One of the stupidest things they’ve done is insist that all Apple Arcade games be new. This instantly kills the potential of the library while simultaneously doing nothing to clean up the rest of the App Store scams. Besides, people already own or know of tons of games outside Arcade that they want to play...why not capitalize on that?

There are plenty of older games that could fit the Arcade model as-is. For those that don’t (e.g. pay-to-play) at least having the option to modify their games for Arcade would be good for developers, good for Apple and certainly good for users (less crappy experiences on the store).

And while I’m commenting...does Apple realize how dumb it looks to have both “Games” and “Arcade” categories, especially when there are only 4 total categories!?
