10 February 2020
Currently, iOS-based games earn more but Android is set to take over by 2023.

Anonymous, 12 Feb 2020Have you played League of Legends or DOTA 2 before? lol sucks

    Anonymous, 11 Feb 2020Which emulator do you use. I used to use Nox back in the day. I already mentioned it, I'm using Remix OS. It's not an emulator, but a properly legit Android OS built for desktop devices. So you have true access to all the apps from Google Play Store ready to be downloaded and played.

              No thanks, I'll stick with PC. Heck, I play all of my Android games on my PC via a legit built-for-desktop Android ROM called Remix OS, which I dual-boot it alongside Windows 10 and Linux Mint 19.1. I'm not sure if LuckyPatcher can be mentioned here...

                  Consoles / PC .. have keyboard / mouse / controllers, for long session of game play.
                  Mobile phones.. touch / limited short session of game play.

                  So even if specs improves, games will still tailor to the needs of each platform.

And the whole world nobody else played pc/xbox/ps gamed, only you did lol. The way u are too quick to judge screams closed minded arrogance. And not everybody is into fast paced action. I wonder whats the difference with playing harvest moon with a pc, console or a phone too lol. Mobile games like mobile legends require such quick fingers tapping here and there i dun think console would be able to do that. Oh let me ask u back, have you ever played before mobile legends? And stay humble. Dont go around shouting the entire community noob even when you are competing in arenas. That is if you are.

                      I really feel in-app purchases really ruin the gaming experience. Just put out regular quality games like you do in PC/consoles. Look at Nintendo Switch success, it's running a nearly 5 year old Tegra mobile chip and proves you can absolutely get quality gaming on mobile without the micro transaction BS. Mobile gaming graphics today, paired with external accessories like dedicated gamepads, eternal keyboards and mice as well as monitors/tv, gets really close to console quality.

                        Entire ecosystem of gaming phones out there which is simply gonna get better.
                        Don't be surprised if Samsung comes out with G series for gaming in 2020.
                        Other manufacturers will jump on the mobile gaming market too.

Set it up in the living room like a console, or remote connect to it through simpler hardware. Also for mobility and portability there are many remote apps available like steam link, moonlight, nvidia geforce now etc. Then you can use whatever type of peripherals you want or need.

                            I'mPhone, 10 Feb 2020A guy who said mobile games can potentially cost more than ... more"..However, the introduction of "gaming phones" like the ROG Phone 2 seems quite pointless, when there are only very few titles where gameplay is very competitive..."

                            The title itself is clearly stated that mobile is the largest gaming segment most of the money comes from in-app purchases, we can translated it as there will be a tons of gamers here as potential consumers/buyers who willingly shelling out a lot of their money for hardware, so this is the reason why gaming phones exist, these manufacturer produce a specific products (gaming phones and its gaming accessories) trying to create profit by delivering specific products to these mobile gamer segment.

                            "Again, mobile games can be quite pointless, and so are gaming phones finally.."
                            The purpose of games itself is for entertainment, and it really depends on the gamer/user itself, as long as the game can bring satisfaction/joy or entertainment for the users itself then its not pointless. Don't use your own subjectivity to judge whether mobile game is pointless, the same thing as you cant judge whether watching movies is pointless for people or not

                                  I have nothing against mobile gaming but I fear about the future of single player games... At this point game publishers will be interested only in multi-player games with "pay to win" elements like EA.
