One is stay modern: use new APIs and tools that make the app better and easier to maintain. A second is to not spend time on things that don\u2019t make the app better. A third is to attract and retain contributors, who are usually more psyched to work with modern stuff than with old stuff.</p>\n<p>You can see how that\u2019s in a little bit of conflict with #1 (getting as many people as possible using RSS readers).</p>\n<h4>Here\u2019s the plan</h4>\n<p>After a major OS update, we will switch to requiring that update on our next major release \u2014\u00a0where major is defined as something like 5.0 or 5.1, but not something like 5.0.1. (In other words: the upcoming NetNewsWire 5.0.3 release will run on Mojave, while NetNewsWire 5.1 will require Catalina.)</p>\n<p>At the same time, we will make older versions available via the website. For instance, the last version that will run on Mojave will likely be 5.0.4 (which isn\u2019t finished yet) \u2014 and we\u2019ll make that version available indefinitely for people who haven\u2019t upgraded to Catalina.</p>\n<p>This will mean that people running older OSes will still get a high-quality app \u2014 it\u2019s just that it won\u2019t have the latest features.</p>\n<p>The key is that this allows us to make NetNewsWire the best app it can be, and making the best app we can is also part of furthering the goal of getting as many people as possible using RSS. (The biggest part, in fact. Bigger than compatibility with older OSes.)</p>\n<p>While I know this will disappoint some people, I hope you\u2019ll understand <em>why</em> we decided to do it this way. Decisions like this are never easy \u2014 there are always conflicting values to weigh, pros and cons and add up \u2014\u00a0and we don\u2019t make them impulsively. But making NetNewsWire the best app it can be has to be job #1.</p>"

"content": "With the launch of <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-13/\">iOS 13</a>, <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/19/apple-arcade-live-ios-13/\">Apple released Apple Arcade</a>, a new $4.99 per month gaming service that provides unlimited access to new and exclusive games.\n<br>\n<br>\nLess than two weeks later, Google <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/23/google-launches-new-play-pass-service-on-android/\">announced its own gaming service</a> called Play Pass, which also offers unlimited access to games. In our latest YouTube video, we went hands-on with both services to compare them.\n<br>\n<br>\n<center><iframe allowfullscreen src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/klZfwC5Wh9I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"></iframe></center><center><em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/macrumors?sub_confirmation=1\">Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel</a> for more videos.</em></center>\n<br>\nBoth <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/apple-arcade/\">Apple Arcade</a> and <a href=\"https://play.google.com/about/play-pass/\">Play Pass</a> are priced at $4.99 per month. Apple offers a one-month free trial while Google offers a 10-day free trial, but for the first year, Google is offering a deal that drops the price of Play Pass to $1.99 per month.\n<br>\n<br>\nThough the prices are similar, the two services are quite different. <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-arcade/\">Apple Arcade</a> features new and exclusive games, some of which were funded by Apple, while Google's Play Pass offers up older games.\n<br>\n<br>\nPlay Pass includes some super popular titles like Stardew Valley, Reigns, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Terraria, and more, but the problem with older games is that many people may have already played them.\n<br>\n<br>\nPlay Pass is also not limited to games -- Google is including apps too. AccuWeather, Pic Stitch, ISS HD, and Tunable are some of the apps offered.\n<br>\n<br>\nApple Arcade only offers gaming titles, but all of the games are fresh, new, and exclusive to Apple Arcade. In some cases, though, some of the games are also available on consoles, but on mobile platforms, Apple Arcade gets exclusive access. That means no Android equivalent.\n<br>\n<br>\nIt's not clear if apps can leave Apple Arcade, but Google warns that apps can leave Play Pass. If that happens, users will need to buy the game to continue to use it if it's a paid game, and for free titles, ads and in-app purchases may show up.\n<br>\n<br>\nGoogle says there are hundreds of apps and games included with more being added every month. Apple Arcade launched with right around 60 games, and Apple has also promised new content on a monthly basis. Both services offer offline gaming, so no internet connection is required.\n<br>\n<br>\nWith both services, content is ad free and features no in-app purchases. Apple titles were designed from the ground up with no additional purchases, but for Play Pass, these gaming elements have been removed from titles that previously offered them.\n<br>\n<br>\nApple allows up to six family members to share games through a single Apple Arcade subscription using Family Sharing, and Google allows for up to five family members to share content through its Google Play Family Library.\n<br>\n<br>\nApple Arcade has launched in multiple countries around the world, while Play Pass is limited to the United States at the current time. Google does plan to expand, however.\n<br>\n<br>\nOne other aspect worth noting is privacy. Apple specifically mentions privacy protections and says that users are able to choose to share data, while Google's Play Pass materials don't mention privacy or data sharing. &quot;Every game must meet Apple's high privacy standards,&quot; reads Apple's <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/09/apple-arcade-invites-you-to-play-something-extraordinary/\">press release</a> for Apple Arcade.\n<br>\n<br>\nMost people are locked in to either Android or iOS and few have both, so most people won't need to choose between services.\n<br>\n<b
