Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking even for cases of like shrinkflation.

I saw an article about potentially cheaper RAM here, so it got me curious if things ever really get better on occasion.

Can someone make this happen with mobile games please?

    We're at the point where you can play all sorts of emulated games on mobile. There are near infinite bangers to play right now.

    And best of all, even iOS has emulators now! For a while they were banned on the app store IIRC. Now there are pretty good emulators there.

    I did not get very far with my first ever playthrough of Ocarina of Time personally. But I've played plenty of Pokemon Emerald over the years.

    Apple did make an effort with Apple Arcade. The idea is it’s a curated list of decent indie games, none of which have monetization. But, you pay a monthly fee for them.

    Not all of them Indie tbh, there are plenty of Arcade versions of popular games that normally have MTX or ads.

    But yes, you also get some indie gems that normally are a one time purchase, and I believe some games specially developed for the Arcade.

    Hilariously, Civ 7 is on there, but my phone has an A16 and it requires A17. And I stopped my sub a while ago
