Developers say making games for Apple's platform is like getting into an abusive relationship

Apple Arcade developers complain of lack of support and outdated technology

According to sources, Apple Arcade developers are frustrated by the lack of support and technical assistance from Apple. They complain that Apple's communication is not timely, it takes three weeks to reply to emails, and the content of the responses is often vague or vague, which does not solve the actual problem.

For developers of the Vision Pro platform in particular, Apple's technical support is the "worst". One developer described the platform as "lagging, expensive, and not designed for games at all". Due to platform performance limitations, most Vision Pro games can only run as "virtual screens".

A source said bluntly: "Apple doesn't understand games and players." They believe that while Apple Arcade is a good concept, Apple's lack of clear goals and positioning has left developers confused and confused.

One developer likened Apple's process of developing games to an "abusive relationship", and they hoped Apple would improve communication and technical support and become a more qualified partner.

Apple declined to respond to a request for comment, citing only an earlier interview with Arcade senior director Alex Rofman, who said Arcade was "a very important part of strategy and gaming is more important to Apple than ever".
