Mac App Store steeply discounts popular macOS games

A bunch of big Mac games like "Death Stranding" and "Resident Evil Village" are discounted in the Mac App Store, with some being offered at well below half price.

I wish GTA6 will boost Apple gaming, and Vision Pro may involve too…

Because then you have to subscribe to Apple's utterly mid game service?

It's not too shabby for being part of Apple One, particularly when that is bundled with my Verizon service at a further discount.

If DDV is the only thing you’re really playing on Apple Arcade, and expect to keep playing it for a long time, you should probably grab a “permanent” copy at this sale price and cancel your AA subscription. That way you have the option of dropping AA at some point in the future and still be able to play DDV.

OTOH, even at this sale price DDV equals the cost of six months of Apple Arcade, so if you’re one of those folks who play a game to completion and is done with it, Apple Arcade is definitely the better deal over the course of a year.
