I am a gamer and I can confidently say no one asked for this.
I'm pretty sure I asked for this. It's really weird the way people act like if they don't like something, that means no one else would. Must be something in the water.

I tried REALLY hard to enjoy Apple's content services (Arcade, News+, TV+, Fitness+). I hate them all and stopped paying for them. I hope Apple discontinues them and focuses on more important endeavors that don't involve force-feeding us pablum for the masses.
I enjoy many shows on TV+. If the service doesn’t have content you enjoy that’s fine but to say they should discontinue it is insane.

Yeah. Apple should discontinue them because YOU hate them. Good call! lol If you don't like it, you aren't forced to subscribe. Good Lord.

At my parents without my Vision Pro. Very curious to see what the port looks like. Even if it’s the 2.5d experience like most other titles, it should be fun.

For what it’s worth, I REALLY wish Apple pursued Kunos to get Assetto Corsa Evo on the Mac. It’s a new engine and probably the ideal time to start the porting process. The platforms need a good racing sim, and that probably would have been it.
