      I don’t think there have been many, if any, apps that have been added to Apple Arcade and removed from the App Store for purchase.

      That’s a good question. I don’t see it as necessary for it to be taken down—it still adds to the value proposition for Arcade even if it’s available as a once-off purchase.

        Ah. Got it. I assumed Apple might want to have some sort of exclusivity for Arcade to draw in more subscribers.

      You can already buy the game in the AppStore.

        Yes, we can. I already purchased it around two years ago.

        My question was whether it will remain available for purchase after it arrives on Apple Arcade. The answers from others indicate that it will be available as a separate purchase as well.

          The Apple Arcade version is a seperate app meanwhile the paid version will remain available, it seems like the only difference is that diagnostics data isn’t collected in the Apple Arcade version
