David Trlica In the second half of last year, we saw the introduction of the Playond service, which was supposed to compete with Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass. For a monthly fee, players received more than 60 premium games, including titles such as Daggerhood, Crashlands or Morphite. But it is extremely difficult to compete with giants like Apple or Google, and it is not too much of a surprise that the service ends a few months after its launch.

In addition, since its launch, the service has been plagued by various technical problems, which certainly does not help. Problems are reported even after the service is closed, when many premium games are free to download on the App Store. And that without the need to own a Playond account. However, it cannot be assumed that Apple will not do anything about it and will gradually remove the games purchased in this way from the user's account. According to Pocket Gamer's server, subscription games will soon be available under publisher or developer accounts in the AppStore.

If you'd like to experience what a game subscription from a smaller company looks like, there's still a service for iOS Gameclub, in which new games are added every week without ads and additional purchases for real money. Even here, however, it is true that they have a very difficult time in competition with Apple and Google. Even when comparing the titles with Apple Arcade, you can see how much money the company from Cupertino puts into the service.
