Yeah, exactly. They’ve been playing up how the latest iPad/iPhone/etc. is just as powerful as <some previous generation console> for years now. And I don’t doubt that. But it doesn’t do much good when barely anything approaching AAA gaming shows up on the platform. The potential is wasted on lots of garbage freemium games.
Yeah, I'm so sick of lugging a Switch and a ridiculously huge Steam Deck around when my iPhone 14 is way more powerful than either one, but all that power is wasted since there just aren't enough decent games to play
I guess the emphasis is on enough but I was pleasantly surprised to find some really good games on Apple Arcade: Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, Exit the Gungeon, Limbo, Stardew Valley, The Oregon Trail, Cityscapes. A lot more outside Apple Arcade but I prefer buying them on Steam so not much first hand experience with them.
