Is Apple Arcade an Antitrust Risk?
Launched in the latter half of last year, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Arcade is one of the Mac maker's most promising new subscription services and has the potential to shake up the economics of the mobile gaming industry. The company could even potentially cannibalize itself as it undermines other models like in-app purchases, which it gets a cut of, or ad monetization. Meanwhile, Apple continues to face intensifying antitrust scrutiny across many other parts of its business, recently getting hit with a $1.2 billion fine by French authorities over allegations of anticompetitive practices in wholesale distribution.
Does Apple Arcade add to the growing list of anticompetitive concerns?
