I like the AAA and pc games that have come to mobile. I prefer to buy games outright upfront over getting Nickle and dimes or constrained by time limits which is so pervasive in mobile gaming. Like I like games like Grid Autosports and retro ports like the rockstar collection.

I prefer to play with an attached controller like my razor Kishi. I hope more developers will port their games to mobile because I hate made for mobile games

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. 🔥

I stopped playing games on mobile as I have more than enough to play on pc and ps.

Also I hate the free to play skinner box model that took over the mobile industry.

Yeah, there are exceptions like Overboard, Storyteller, the Alien Isolation sidekick game or the whole Lifeline space series, but they’re all lost in an ocean of crap.

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

Agreed. I run sunshine and moonlight on my local network, every one of my devices can run any game. It’s really a life changer.

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.
