Apple's managed to become a credible player in the TV space in a few short years by, essentially, hiring some competent veteran executives to run the thing and throwing buckets of money at it; I think any sufficiently motivated big tech company could do the same thing with games.
IMHO, AppleTV is the new HBO.
I want them to give Taika Watiti a billion dollars and tell him to make a Master & Commander series.
What good show did Apple produce?
Pretty much all of them. Their track record is amazing. Most recently foundation IMO which is in its second season atm.
Silo is incredible, as is Severance. Ted Lasso is great. I'm really enjoying Foundation. For All Mankind was a great season 1 but I haven't caught up on it. That's just off the top of my head. I ditched Netflix and D+ and only pay for AppleTV now.
Apple Arcade is already a solid little gaming platform. My kids love it.
They may jump more into bigger titles as the AppleTV boxes get a little beefier, but right now being able to just connect a PlayStation or Xbox controller to it and play some fun little games is a nice perk
