Terraria is one of the greatest games ever made. Great addition.

Hey, I'm a dork too - my Steam library is full of AAA titles. But there's definitely a certain kind of gamer that seems to think that casual gaming isn't really gaming at all, and they're always crapping all over other people's choices.
I’m not saying that at all. Apple has chosen to cater to cozy gamers, kids, and casual gamers and that’s fine. But as a person that owns a iPad Pro m5 and higher end Mac’s i would also like AAA games that push the boundaries a bit. More Oceanhorn, Civ 7s, dredge type of games.

I still wouldn't pay extra for Arcade, but as a One subscriber it's cool to see the additions. My young daughter loves playing the Sesame Street games and they're actually pretty decent. The AAA dorks always roll in and piss all over Arcade threads on MR, but there's some quality casual gaming content on there.
Why are we "dorks" for wanting aaa games? You internet tough guys are hilarious.

I loved the Star Trek Legends game on Apple Arcade and even the nerfed version of CIV VII is pretty great. But overall Arcade still feels like a like an after thought and it needs its own app not the “Games” app that currently merges non-Arcade games with other iOS games. Worst of all Apple Arcade games still aren’t directly searchable on an iPhone.
