Developing games for Apple platforms has been described as “like an abusive relationship”, due to a lack of support or strategy.
In a new report, MobileGamer.biz has spoken to a number of anonymous developers making games for the Apple Arcade mobile platform and the Vision Pro VR headset.
Sources describe a whole litany of issues, suggesting Apple simply “does not understand gamers” or the industry.
A key problem is reportedly a lack of contact or technical support. “We can go weeks without hearing from Apple at all and their general response time to emails is three weeks, if they reply at all,” said one source.
