An Apple Arcade Extravaganza – The TouchArcade Show #393

This week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show is all about Apple’s recent “It’s Show Time" event and of course the announcement of Apple Arcade which seems to have set the internet on fire with hot takes. It’s not that surprising though, as Apple has revealed very little important details about how this premium mobile games subscription service will work. Eli and I run through our concerns about the service and speculate on just how some of the biggest questions we have will be answered. Namely, how exactly access and long-term support for Apple Arcade games will work and how the developers involved will get paid. Also, Eli is at PAX East in Boston and had to record this show from his hotel room, so the audio quality is a bit worse than normal and unfortunately there’s no video podcast for our Patrons this week. We should be all back to normal by next week though, so enjoy this week’s episode and let us know what your thoughts and concerns are about Apple Arcade in the comments section below or by shooting us an email or tweet!

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji. As always, you can listen to us with the links below… And if you like what you hear, please subscribe and/or drop us a review in iTunes. Much appreciated!

As a companion to this audio podcast, we also do a video version of the same show that is exclusive to Patreon which allows you to see us playing the games we’re talking about.
