I would make a review thread but it seems like reviewers just started playing, so there aren't many yet.

They've been investing way more in gaming lately, but I imagine their long-term plan involves setting up Apple Arcade as a premium brand for high-end titles in a way that might be undermined by promoting their "competition" now. Like if Apple promoted a lot of shows that were available on iTunes shortly before launching Apple TV+. No idea, though, I'm just wildly speculating.

I don't know, they are focusing a ton right now on re-releasing REALLY old mobile games, just with a plus symbol added to the name. That's polar opposite from premium high end titles. If they do want to go that direction they need to change course immediately!
