I know complaining about this service is a cliché. But wow, this is embarrassing. It's luck for Apple that there are some good games in the back-catalogue, such as Vampire Survivors and Balatro, but I wonder which games got retired to make space for My Talking Tom Friends+?

Not sure whether the NFL game is available worldwide or only in the US. Anyway not impressed with the additions to Arcade.

When I look at Apple Arcade games, I think Apple should licence all the Sega Master System games. This way there would be no need to create new "retro" games. This would give Apple Arcade a whole bunch of simple and fun games to play and I suppose licensing would cost less than what Nintendo would ask for (they wouldn't want to licence anyway) or what it would cost to develop a bunch of new "retro" games.
