    Sad to see that he had no interest in actually selling the games. This is why a lot of people stay away from mobile gaming. Constant data mining and random gatchas dying mean people do not want to invest in a product that strings them along and can disappear at anytime.

      We carry devices with us that are more powerful than the Switch, yet we’re here with this bullshit that mobile gaming is. It’s just sad how techno feudalism is destroying everything.

        The worst part is that they do this because it works. Mobile gaming is just fundamentally broken and the only way to fix it is to fix psychology (which obviously won’t happen).

          Banning gacha games would be a start.

          I have no issue in purchasing some extra stuff, but no timed items or random stuff.

          And I have to add to it… I mean buying stuff that matters. Not just skins or anything. More like a actual DLC with more story, new characters etc. Which add a new level of experience to the game

          If any of the major publishers were smart they’d just make an emulator for phones and sell classic games on it like Nintendo does on its consoles.

          I mainly use my phone to play psx and psp games. It’s amazing how well it works.

        Most phones can run emulators up to gamecube or dreamcast. That’a impressive considering emulators aren’t always optimized.

        Square Enix is hit and miss but have done some really good stuff in the past. The mobile version of Chrono Trigger is probably the definitive version among the ports (minus the newer translation)

      Yup. I would totally buy mobile games if I could find any that don’t suck. Instead, my money goes to Steam and Nintendo because they actually make portable gaming products.

        It’s amazing what a gameflex controller or a hdmi adaptor/console controller can do with a phone and gaming.

        You can basically turn your phone into a steam deck or switch, only problem is the lack of games.
