Apple Arcade would had been okay if the games didn’t go away like the movies from Netflix does. You work so hard on a game and you lose its progress because it gets taken away. It’s not worth the sacrifice/time compared to real video game consoles.

Final Fantasy XVI was released in 2023.
This word "final." I do not think it means what they think it means.

Arcade Paradise ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Paradise') will have you mopping floors, doing laundry and emptying the change bins from arcade machines. You could get real money to do the same thing in real life if there's a Dave & Busters near you.

It's an arcade with an AppleBee's like restaurant in it that serves burgers and fries.
It sounds like half of those games are low-paid job simulators.
