Stadia looks more intriguing than Apple Arcade.
Apple has some work to do with arcade, that is for sure.

Depending on the quality of the games, the support (or lack) of MFI controller support, and the inclusion of major franchises (such as Halo, Red Dead Redemption, Doom), I could be a subscriber. Although they pushed the exclusive nature of the game on the service, I don’t need them to be exclusive to apple devices.

Hopefully apple has some killer apps in the works for the arcade service.
 
Two analysts (Ed Lee/Dan Ives) on CNBC stated earlier, "Major shot across the bow by Apple in gaming...Netflix for gaming", among other superlatives, they could be right but I'll leave that up to the gaming people here.
I wonder if those guys know that shooting across the bow means literally not to hit anything?

Apple has been a service company for some time.

I understand that and I use their cloud service. However, as I satiated in my comment, even the greatest companies can lose focus when they just keep adding more and more. I think Apple has been making a ton of money without adding al these services. I guess I’ve been an Apple guy so long I can remember the “good ole days”… lol.
 
Yeah I just turned this **** off. What a misguided company. Tim can't grow the company in markets where he is failing (India, China), so instead focus on where the products are already popular and shove another streaming service down the publics throat.

Yuck.

At least they are giving us until the AirPower pad comes out to decide.
 
You must be young.

You don’t know the Oprah Winfrey show?

Don’t you remember the chat shows of the 90’s Oprah, Rickie Lake, Maury, Jerry Springer, Sally Jessie Raphael. They showed r on cable in the 90’s over here.

Ever watch the colour purple movie. She’s in that.

I never watched her show. I was more a fan of Clan members getting into fist fights on Springer while the audience bayed for blood.
 
Apple Arcade = Fall
Apple Card = Summer/Probably Fall. UK date wasn't even mentioned???
Apple Tv+ = Fall

All seem like decent services but why the early announcement? Just announce it when it's ready.

Also most of this seems US exclusive.
 
I'm amazed at how many of you people are defending the credit card as the only "good" product. It was all pure garbage with the credit card on the top of the garbage list! I'll never understand why people LOVE getting into debt. If you want a measly 1-2% back join a credit union. My debit card from my credit union offers cash back just alike a credit card. But I have 0 debt unlike the rest of America currently drowning in bills.
 
That would have been amazing... if I had a TV, was interested in streaming TV or in TV programes at all, interested in yet more subscription services or if I was in need of a credit card. What a load of old sheesh.
