Speaking of classic puzzle games, I want to play Hexic once again. Unfortunately, it’s not available for PC. Microsoft needs to bring it to the PC.

It sucks that 2048 went viral and not Threes. Threes is available in Apple Arcade, which is pretty cool.

I think being stuck in Apple Arcade was it’s big problem, basically.

I had not considered that, good point.

Didn’t 2048 go viral before Apple Arcade even existed?

This has become a bit of a rollercoaster here. Looks like 2048 peaked around 2014, according to Google Trends. Apple Arcade launched 5 years later. So it turns out that it doesn’t line up.

The reason 2048 took over was probably because Threes was only on iOS for a while, and because 2048 was available as a free, ad-supported game while Threes was only available as a paid game.

I got Threes back around Android release, and 2048 was already huge.

It wasn't stuck on Apple Arcade. There was an Android release well before.

Being stuck for a while on iOS was its initial problem.

The Android port took quite a bit of time to happen which means 2048 had time to eclipse it for many people. And when it finally was on Android, It probably struggled more there for being a paid game when 2048 was free with ads what’s wrong with you people, it costs as much as 2 coffees and ads are fucking annoying.

It’s been available on both iOS and Android for years before Arcade was a thing.
