I can’t believe we’re talking about this again. Feels like every five years or so, some industry has-been wants to talk about phones changing gaming.

Last year was one of the best for games in recent years, all of which I wouldn’t want to play on my phone.

Wake up, Touchscreens aren’t ideal, it’s just convenient. The market is bigger than just people wanting to play on the phone.

EDIT I reread and think my rant isn’t really applicable to this, but I’ll leave up how I feel anyway.

exactly, touchscreens are only good because they take no extra space and are terrible in every other way

Remember when Blizzard was like “You guys have phones right?”
