Steam的对手来了，Acrade游戏订阅服务开启游戏新时代
2019年的苹果发布会已经过去几天，新iPhone已经开始预售，但是苹果这次发布的软件服务才是这场发布会的精髓所在，特别是Apple Acrade游戏订阅服务。
如果要理解苹果发布Apple Acrade服务的意义，我们就要追溯苹果的历史，苹果曾经没落，最后是靠音乐服务翻盘的。在上世纪80年代，乔布斯和沃兹尼亚克共同发明苹果电脑之后，取得了巨大的成功，公司很快上市，乔布斯和沃兹尼亚克都成了百万富翁。但随后苹果遭了硬件巨头IBM和软件巨头微软的攻击，市场占有率迅速下滑，同时苹果又出了变故，竟然把创始人乔布斯逐出了公司，此后，苹果在发展路线上昏招不断，影响力逐渐衰弱，与微软已经不是一个层次的对手。直到在解雇乔布斯12年后，1997年，苹果收购了乔布斯的公司，乔布斯重新入主苹果。
乔布斯的天才很快让苹果绽放出光芒。2001年，苹果推出了设计非常漂亮的音乐播放器iPod，同时结合苹果的iTunes音乐付费下载系统，iPod一举击败很多80后熟悉的索尼的Walkman，成为全球最受欢迎的音乐播放器。在此之后推出的iPhone、iPad都有曾经的iPod的影子。可以说，音乐服务是苹果重新回到巅峰的最关键因素。
在硬件创新上遇到瓶颈后，苹果这几年逐渐将目光转向起家的软件服务。2018年的发布会推出了Apple News，一个月只要几美元就能订阅全球热门期刊的新闻，堪称是革命性的成就。2019年，苹果更进一步，在春季发布会推出了游戏订阅服务Apple Acrade，并在秋季发布会推出了更多的细节，一个月只要4.99美元就可以玩很多玩家一心向往但价格太高的大作，受到很多玩家的期待。
在移动端时代，随时随地可以玩的移动游戏比在电脑上玩的端游有更大的发展潜力。端游层面，Steam是最受欢迎的电脑游戏平台，无数的游戏大作都在上面发布。前段时间，我曾经想玩十多年前玩过的三国志11，发现Steam上竟然也推出来了，赶紧买上一个补上十多年前应该付的钱。Apple Acrade游戏订阅服务有可能培育更多的移动游戏玩家，游戏玩家多了，开发商就有更强的动力开发移动游戏，我们看好苹果通过这个游戏订阅服务能够动摇Steam的地位，开启移动端游戏的新时代。
