I've always been intrigued by Apple Arcade. I know that if I want "higher quality games" (in terms of graphics, game play, selection, and exclusives), Steam, Switch, a PS, or Xbox is really the way to go. However, I don't mind exploring what AA has to offer within that scope. I just never bothered b/c my iPod Touch 5 and iPad Air (1st gen from 2013) wouldn't support them (and even if it did, I'd question how well they would run on hardware that was 6 to 9 years old at that point).
I got a new 9th gen iPad which makes this possible now, but Apple also threw in 3 complimentary months of AA, so no point in not taking advantage of that. Even for $5 a month, it sounds much more delightful than all of the bs I had to put up with when I was playing freemium games (I played one for 3 years, and another for 8 months before I had to hard quit them, the system got that awful
). Don't know if I'll continue to subscribe after that trial is up, as time is the bigger bottleneck for me these days, but we'll see.
