I’m a recent Apple Arcade subscriber, due to the 3 month offer that comes with Apple TV 4K. I really don’t see any value in it, but I’m still going to keep it until the trial runs out. Is there something I’m missing? I just can’t see why people would pay money for Apple Arcade.

Neither do I. I played a handful of games, and got bored quick. Gaming on the ATV just flat out sucks. It doesn't have to, but the content just isn't there.

Same here, cancelled long before end of trial period. But I have no expectation that Apple change Apple Arcade to make it worth it for me, it's simply not something I want or need.
 
I tried it too but same experience. I played a few, enjoyed a few, got bored of a few then canceled. I do think the games are decent just not worth a subscription. I guess Apple often rely on people just paying as it's not much so they have it if there is an itch to play something quick and easy without too much effort.

It's included for us through VZW, but we haven't played anything in months. It's nice to have no iAP, but haven't found anything fun in a while. And the font is always super small.
 
It's not but it's part of my premier one plan so when I add up all the services I actually want and use I'm not paying for arcade.
 
The services I need add up to £18.77
Apple Arcade is £4.99
Apple One is £16.95 which is the services I need plus Apple Arcade.
Free games.
 
Apple Arcade is indeed a dismal failure, in every sense of the word, but at least it does not cost that much.

It's $5/month. What are you expecting to get for that?

We use it every day. I'd pay 5x what Apple charges.
