It's hard to communicate just how valuable Apple Arcade is as a parent. Especially now that so many of their games seem targeted towards younger kids. Having hundreds of ad-free games with no in-app purchases is such a game changer. Nearly everything works completely offline too, so it's great for road trips. Say what you want about it, but in my opinion it's one of the best things Apple has ever done.

Iam sorry it’s nice but Apple Arcade is horrible way better games are in the game section of the App Store
It might be if they had a filter for "in-app purchases = no."

Yes, if you have small children. Find something fun for me, I'm 58: Apple thinks we're all 10 years old

The game I wanted to play recently was removed from Arcade. Every month less and less games for “mature” casual users.
