A week ago from the Apple event, a event's audience very interesting that they dedicated exclusively to presenting New services, and to modify some that they already had. With the passage of time we will see how these services are spreading throughout the territory. However, for the moment we are left with long teeth to try any of them.
Apple Arcade, is a new service of the big apple, a service that aims to make available to the player exclusive titles that you won't be able to find anywhere else. The developers believe that it is a solid and hopeful project, But you have to take it with some caution like any other service to see what disadvantages it can bring to the gaming world.
The quality of video games will come with Apple Arcade
Apple Arcade will be a service where the best games will reach users. This service aims to be a multiplatform 'Netflix of video games' as it will be compatible with Mac, iOS and Apple TV. In addition, the titles that appear in it will be exclusive and cannot be obtained anywhere else, or at least for now.
The middle The Verge has managed to contact a dozen developers to see what is your opinion on Apple Arcade. As always, there are developers who have applauded the decision to create a service with these characteristics, since these types of initiatives the quality of video games is rewarded and valued, offering users quality content.
I'm encouraged to see that Apple devotes so much energy to maintaining and improving the quality of the App Store.
Many others are uncertain about the novelties added since the in-app purchases meant maintaining a relationship between the user and the developers, after periodic updates to improve the game. Despite this, these developers consider that if a quality content, more people will access it and they will achieve more benefits, since one of the fundamental pillars is that the benefits revolve around the hours played and not the number of downloads, since in Apple Arcade all the games are accessible.
I really hope that Apple Arcade funded games can go elsewhere after a short period of time.
Another problem that game creators see is the exclusivity within the platform. Many features of the service are unknown but Apple points out that the games on its service should only stay in Apple Arcade, that is, they will not be able to go to the App Store as a payment application or to other application stores. This would mean that a developer only works on a game that will go to one place, which would limit the work of said creator a bit. We will see how Apple takes all this issue when the service is launched in the fall.
