As of July 2025, there are 14,139 premium, paid games on the iOS App Store—meaning games that are not free-to-play, not gacha, and have no microtransactions.
To put that in perspective: iOS alone has more complete, self-contained games than the NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube libraries combined.

If having an unpopular opinion rattles your echo chamber, so be it. I’m perfectly fine with that.

It was obvious hyperbole to point at how you are still hilariously wrong. Congratulations on being too stupid to understand how speech works.
