Mobile computing is the future. Laptops are going to go away eventually. Desktops are going to go away eventually. (Decades, not like tomorrow)
All software will run on mobile devices. The only question is what is the human interface going to be?
Mobile gaming is the largest platform for gaming right now, most games are played on phones, but the input is usually a touch screen only, maybe some gyroscopic.
To bring all gaming experiences to mobile, the use of keyboard mice VR is going to have to become more common first.
We’re already seeing it with steam deck, basically everything can run on it, from years ago, and this got a reasonable input methodology. You could hook up the keyboard and mouse to it. Unlocking all the gaming library from 5 plus years ago.
I predict we’ll see attachable gaming inputs for phones being more commonplace. A controller for your phone, keyboard and mouse for your phone…
I suspect the use of keyboard and mice will become a specialized skill that most people never develop. So in the future I don’t know what the inputs are really going to look like
I think cloud gaming will continue to grow and services like Xbox game pass will bring games to mobile as a service. Personally I run a virtual machine to have access to my steam games and I use my razer kishi to play some games like Eastward or moonlighter. It’s almost like having a switch but slightly more setup
I agree with you for the most part. I do believe that mobile gaming is the future just bc of cheap it is to produce. I can see more and more games being optimized for ARM chips every year.
Yeah mobile gaming is the reason why gaming is a bigger industry than Hollywood or even the music industry. It’s just far more accessible than any console or PC will ever be. It only makes sense that businesses will start to focus more on it.
I believe that the only reason Microsoft paid so much for Activision Blizzard isn’t for COD or the other IPs they have, but more for King. The owners of Candy Crush and plenty of other mobile games.
Mobile gaming has become too money hungry. The OG Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies games were enormously fun. They were worth buying. But now I wouldnt touch them with a 10 foot pole with all the microtransactions.
Kimd of funny story though, back when R6 came out I was a seriously good competitive player, but I started to take it a little too seriously and I had pretty bad emotional control skills back then so I decided to cool it and play something else for a while. I decided to play Angry Birds again for a while and just goof. Well I got talking to one of my wifes workmates husbands at a thing and he was like “Im a GAMER!” I said yeah, me too and he got all enthusiastic and asked what I was playing now I said “Ah Im playing Angry Birds right now, I was pla-” and the guy went full 4chan copypasta autist and started giving me a lecture about how that isnt gaming and if I was a real gamer like him Id play something like Siege. “Really, maybe I should get it and you can show me a thing or two” so I got his deets and added him on steam… and I spent an evening casually steamrolling his ass across every map we played while he gradually got less and less condescending over chat as he figured out it wasnt luck and I really was just casually making him look like a total scrub. When he was like “Im gonna go for the night man, have a good one” I just said “Yeah, catch you… Im just gonna play some Angry Birds before bed”
Fine for time killers. Netflix has a great collection.
I love collecting pngs of anime women and I do not care what you think about it
They are cool. 👍
And i don’t mind making a one time pay to get rid of ads and supporting the developers. 😃💵
But i really hate pay-to-win games with a passion. 🔥
