no longer accessible inside Russia

Fuck Apple for not exiting Russia but the title makes it sound like they removed those globally.

This looks like either a bug in the platform or people with Premium Lite. The article made no attempt at investigating this because all they did was to reprint complaints from anonymous people on Reddit. Customer support offering boilerplate reply about why someone is seeing ads sounds like par for the course here because it’s all either LLM chatbots or people in third world countries who couldn’t care less.

Most of the games in AA that I played have been reworked to remove monetisation while their regular App Store versions offer freemium model only.

If you own an iPhone just get Apple Arcade through Apple One, it’s really worth it if you game on your phone. No predatory monetisation, regular self-contained games, plenty of high quality titles.

Thank you.

I have no idea about internal workings of german politics but isn’t it the time for CDU-SPD coalition? I know it happened before and unity government is something that would be the most reasonable way out. It might be my bias talking though. While I identify as socialist I respect true Christian democrats for their social policies. I don’t believe any major party can reasonably advocate for debt brakes in current conditions. Are CDU that far gone really?

Uh, in this rare instance The Economist published something that calls for more public spending and less austerity. I think some are realising what years of neoliberal rule has led to. Current oligarchs are scared that they’re going to be replaced with new ones.

My phone rebooted occasionally on iOS18 and this was mentioned as fixed in 18.1 release notes so this story sounds plausible.

I understand that half of the world is currently healing psychological trauma from the US election results but Atlus has been commenting on politics in their games for much longer.

Amazon did very well with The Expanse and Fallout, they could pull this off.

I was mostly talking about Phantom Liberty part - it is much more interesting and better executed than anything in the base game.

I played it at release on PS4 and then with Phantom Liberty on XSX. It was awful game with a great story then. Today it’s a pretty good game with one of the greatest stories in this medium. It’s often brought up as a comeback story for CDPR but lack of polish still rears its head in places. For example clothing pieces still have rarity label based on how much defensive stat it gave prior to patch 2.0 (which detached armour rating from the clothes).

It was the only last gen console to run Cyberpunk 2077 with a stable framerate. First party exclusives made good use of it too.

Well, did you?

Same. I have Game Pass Ultimate so I don’t need to ;)

Aren’t those Snapdragon chips used in Windows ARM computers as well? Also, M-series chips are based off A-series so they’re not that different really.

Do you expect this to be presented at an Apple event?

Your point being?

Apple Arcade is still going and getting plenty of releases. I don’t know anyone buying it specifically but including it in Apple One (competitively priced subscription for most Apple services) means lots of people have access to it. Me and my partner use it a lot. It’s very nice knowing that those games won’t try to shove microtransactions down my throat.
