They had one before Y2K with HAL from 2001 a Space Odyssey.Would this be their first super bowl ad since 1984?
Correct, however that's not really an analogous situation anyway (TV/movies are not games, and I care much less about TV personally).

Ah yes. I'm sure that's why they run iPhone ads every year.I wonder if it is because Apple Arcade isn't doing as well as they are expected.
You can disagree with whether or not Apple Arcade is a failure. You can't take the success of Apple the company and transfer it Arcade as a rebuttal. Well, you can but that logic doesn't make any sense.Fail Arcade? You don't follow Apple's earnings reports do you? It was only a few days ago.
Why, are the games bad or something?Yep, as I said in the post right above. Thank you for making my point. An Apple fan, certainly not a game fan.
This is all reasonable, but it's even better for them not to play video games.I do, to protect my child from the total crap games the Apple App Store is otherwise filled up with - full of (often violent) ads, in-app purchases required to actually play etc.
As a parent I feel much more better about games that Apple has manually curated.
It also gives better gameplay - almost all other other App Store games are mainly designed to make the most money, Apple Arcade games can focus on the best gameplay.
I think Apple Arcade is great. However more high quality games like Oceanhorn 2 would be great.

Pretty simple thing to answer:I'm just curious. why did you respond to a post without even reading it?
The discussion was about who would subscribe to a mobile gaming service. There was no discussion at all between me and the other posters about the quality of the games. We were only discussing the merits of the way the service itself functions. So can you please answer my question and explain why you thought it was worth asking a question that was completely irrelevant to what you were replying to?
So even when he says you’re wrong, you hear that you’re right. He first said the games were good, but you were deaf to that. And the ability to play on the platform the games are *ON* doesn’t make him a blind faN. If someone was drawn to the Switch’s ability to play mobile or connected to a TV, that would *not* give you license to say “Gotcha. Just a Nintendo fan.” That’s a real plus, and so is the multiplatform nature of Apple Arcade. Now me, I’m paying not because the games are good (yet, hopefully) but because I hate the freemium model with a passion. I’m willing to pay a frankly near-trivial sum of money in the hopes that it moves the dial toward content. To be fair, I’m not convinced it has yet, and some of that is because I think Apple and I don’t entirely see eye to eye about what makes a good game. But I’ll give it some more time. And in the meantime, my subscription doesn’t stop me from buying new games on the App Store. And I still spend less money than any of the whales currently ruining ”free” iOS games.Yep, as I said in the post right above. Thank you for making my point. An Apple fan, certainly not a game fan.
The Warcraft III Reforged disaster is 90% an example over how computer gamers have histrionic meltdowns over issues that are fairly minor to everybody but a very small number. Blizzard‘s new rules effectively hose the person who was going to make the next DOTA. One person deserves to be pissed about that, and that’s the guy who would have been making the next DOTA. Everybody else is engaging in fantasy just so they can get wound up. There were indeed some issues with the game but the meta critic score of 1.5 out of 10 is such a hilarious over-reaction to what is, frankly, a pretty damned good (and good-looking) game. The WC3R “disaster” is just childish over-reaction. You might want to pause and think a moment before you start waving the banner of childish over-reaction as “yet another reason why” you do what you do....witness the Warcraft III Reforged disaster for yet another reason why.
Someone who plays them a bit and tries different ones? If Apple can keep adding new appealing games I can see why someone would subscribe.I'm kind of wondering what kind of person pays a subscription fee for mobile phone games...

What's so bad about $5/mo then if it's not the quality of the games? Whatever, what's not worthwhile is talking to someone so dismissive. Might as well be sending to the real /dev/null.Maybe it's because most of the games are high quality?

I unsubscribed from Arcade, after I’ve played Oceanhorn. No other game is interesting at the moment for me. Hopefully they’ll add some more good games in the future. Might resubscribe again.
Cat Quest II, Lava, Oceanhorn 2 were all good at launch. Hardcore gamers play any good game on any platform. That’s what makes you hardcore. Most people who mock casual gamers turn out to be casual gamers who stick to games on the only system they own and only play them because of hype/other people. Nothing hardcore about that.Great ads, and that second one... I wonder if it's a suggestion of full-body memoji support coming?

So you never played any other game, and you deemed them uninteresting for you? Got it.
