It's time for episode 393 of the Clockwise Podcasts from Relay FM recorded Wednesday, April 7th, 2021.

Clockwise, four people, that never violates the laws of temporal mechanics.

My name is Dan Moran, and I'm joined this week sitting in for Micah Sargent, who is way.

A very special co-host. It is the co-host of

automators right here on Relay FM, as well as many other fine shows. It's Rosemary Orchard. Hi,

Rosemary. Hello, Diane. It's lovely to be co-hosting with you this week. It is a delight to have

you. On to introducing the first of our two guests to my left this week. It is our favorite correspondent

from Slovenia. It's Ange Tomic. Welcome back, Ange. I'm a correspondent now. This is new. Okay. Hi, Dan.

Yeah, you've been promoted. Congratulations. You're promoted. Awesome. I'll be looking forward to the

increase in pay also. So, yes. Oh, yeah. Any moment now.

And to my left, we have James Thompson, developer of Pekalc, Dice by Pekalc and in future

deck by Pekalc, perhaps. Well, thank you for having me on. You know how much I love to be prepared

for this show.

Yep, I know you've taken the time to do that,

so let's just launch right into the first topic we have this week.

Apple Arcade expanded its game offerings last week,

including versions of older popular iOS games that are now available ad-free and unlocked.

I'm curious, is this finally asked Apple's recipe for success in gaming, Ange? Any thoughts?

How many times have we asked that question? And then...

One of these times is bound to be right, right?

Yeah, I think, like, it's, I don't know, it's actually, it's, it's sort of funny at this point because they keep trying something and like news like that comes out and they do like they kind of rejigger everything and then nothing happens. And I don't know. I always figured something's bound to happen. I say there's going to be a move'll pull, and it's all going to kind of fall into place.

And, you know, and it just seems not to happen beyond what's in the app store.
