Mobile games can exist with dignity as a niche market for some genres like Rhythm, Visual Novels and maybe some RPGs, but not as action games in general. and much less old PC game ports. There are nice games for mobile, but a lot of them could be better played on PC.

I think that would be the best course of action for mobile games to get out of the money pit suckers that they are now. Anything complicating isn't going to work for mobile. Then again, why do developers keep making such games is obvious. Easy money and less work so I don't think that aspect will ever change until that easy money dries up and people demand something more fulfilling for the time they spend on it.

This shit is why I was saying mobile is dead compared to the way it was earlier this decade. Even Dolphin on Android is held back by shit Snapdragon drivers on the majority of OEM kernels. Hell, I can't even play GTA SA on my newest devices because the drivers produce graphical bugs even on custom ROMs. Does Qualcomm or OEMs care? Of course not, as long as the drivers are able to run the latest Chinese cash grab shovelware. Just because the mobile industry makes bucket loads doesn't mean it's not dead

Even though all the hardware exists to make your nsa-pocket-surveillance-device into an decent handheld, it will never be one. As a developer looking to make a profit it is senseless to do anything but cash in on whales. You will not make money otherwise, it's honestly that simple.

I personally don't think smartphones as a platform really works for actual video games. Shit like the Xperia play are failed experiments at best. And I think most developers and publishers know this. I think it's come to the point where most devs working on AA and AAA titles actively avoid mobile like the plague because that's just not where these games make money. I don't even think Fortnie or PUBG for mobile was that successful compared to other platforms (I could be wrong but I see people downloading this for the novelty at best). Mobile makes the most money overall but does it really actually matter when that money is coming from useless trash?

I've always wanted to find a good tactical strategy game on mobile. Like Advance Wars or King's Bountry. I think that type of game would be the only kind I would tolerate on a tiny touchscreen and is also turn based so I can play it wherever and whenever.

Practically all that shit is freemium. Anyone else making money without freemium or gacha shit do so by systematically pumping out reskins of small yet popular games like clockwork, calculated to the penny.
The entire mobile market is so different that the only reason it's included in any graphs involving the "gaming industry" is because that's where almost all the women come from. Marketers padding the numbers of their pie charts to show off to their boss, essentially.

It's going to continue growing and remain the biggest money maker thanks to cancerous gacha shit. Mobile gaming will have a very lucrative future and none of it will be beneficial for video games as the majority of them are cheap, lazy slot machines.

Like 90% of my time spent on mobile "gaming" has been creating & playing maps on days of ruin using an emulator. You might as well do something similar since all AW games work perfectly for a touchscreen-only system.

Mobile gaming is the future of games. It's the natural progression from the arcade age, to the console age, and now we're on the precipice of the mobile age. Most people here lack the vision to see it but in 5 or so years the mobile market will be the only important gaming sector.

Does it have a future? yeah. Is it ever going to be good? no.
mobile games are always going to be there for whales to get hooked on and sink thousands into but there isn't much incentive to go beyond that and actually make a good game. Ideally this would contain the cancer to mobile but now we have loot boxes and pay to win shit in actual games as well.
Thankfully I haven't bought any of that shit and i am not about to.

The touch screen is a ridiculously obtuse controller.
Mobile is a perfectly capable platform for gaming, it's just that the "controller" is ridiculously limited.
Beyond that glaring flaw, there also exists the issue of every normalfag and their parents having a phone these days, which inevitably means that the game environment will cater to the lowest common denominator.
I personally spend hundreds on games each year, and I don't have a single phone game that I play. The touch screen controls are just too annoying and the lack of quality titles means that it isn't even worth bothering about.
