World Book Butterfly, 30 Jun 2024Most of Apple iPhone buyers worldwide are: 1. Rich busin... more🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lmao. All brands have their share of rich and poor customers. Majority of them are incapable of buying outright so they pay them over the course of 2 years lmao.
And you also forgot the students who get mad at their parents if they don't buy them an iphone. Because their friends will not let them in on their circle because of Apple logo. And green bubbles in the US.

    Asking 49$ for a mobile game is a no. The experience is bad, phone can't handle well for long, etc..

      NeonHD, 30 Jun 2024Honestly, the only AAA game I'm actually surprised tha... moreBecause the mobile playerbase use alternate installers, considering the PlayStore experience isn't the best one people can enjoy. Also some people do prefer older versions.

      Not to mention kids who just refuse to pay, and know other ways to play Minecraft.

        [deleted post]Not most. They are limited rich people and not all of them buy apple devices, most Americans business men uses a z fold.

        Not all Apple users are actors. Lol what kind of thinking is that? Apple themselves wanted trend instead making something more creative they had to bring a console game which is already like 2 to 5 years to a smartphone and named it a groundbreaking one. Now for their 16 series they would also copy Samsung and put AI at the fore front of their launch and it'll still be obsolete, because most iPhones user use their phones for messages, videos and stuff. And who the hell would play a game at 30fps and 720p? And live like that..when they are better PCs?

        Also if all iPhone users are as busy as you think why do online action games have more downloads? Free fire one of the most played games on Android and iPhone? Pubg? Genshin? Lol stop coping too hard. If they were actually busy as you name them, Apple wouldn't make such a childish act again

          NeonHD, 30 Jun 2024Honestly, the only AAA game I'm actually surprised tha... moreBecause there are so many patches and free files that can be downloaded via the internet. Minecraft has been downloaded 10 million times on PlayStore, those are the paid ones. If you ask how many times Minecraft PE has been downloaded? As far as I know from what I've read, Minecraft PE may have been downloaded more than 3 billion times (downloads from PlayStore and free downloads from the internet).

            Most of Apple iPhone buyers worldwide are:

            1. Rich businessmen always busy
            2. Office managers always busy
            3. Office young workers who love to flaunt brands
            4. Rich lads with dedicated gaming PCs
            5. Americans
            6. Politicians, journalists & actors always busy


            That should tell you why.

                  These AAA tiles eat more than 1 percent battery per minute on my M1 iPad. The tablet was getting very hot and still gaming experience was not that great. I didn’t want to kill my 1000 dollar device by just playing a game that I already have on PlayStation and PC.

                  After resident evil village and 4 remake, I have ignored rest of AAA titles on iPad or iOS. Maybe if they perform well on Apple TV, could use that as console. But I don’t that happening anytime soon.

                    And yew, Gplay users are mostly cheapskates. Which is why they send this first to iPhones. And yep, the game I bought on Android 5 stopped being playable on Android 10.FFXV is still incompatible with the Android 13 phone I used to have. What a mess.

As much as I'd like to dunk on Iphonepowa for making fun of Android's lack of AAA games, I'm not sure if this is even a good thing.
                      And it's a literal Genshin ripoff. They even used Genshin assets on their promotional videos.

                        NeonHD, 30 Jun 2024Honestly, the only AAA game I'm actually surprised tha... moreThere have been 50 million downloads on my phone's Play Store.

                          They are asking full prices for a game that can only run on devices starting at a $1000 while delivering a subpar experince and then wondering why people aren't buying it. Love the concept though, i have always wanted to play pc games on my phone.

It is so stupid to think of why people even pay for that stupidity. The feeling is so bad I think my real world reality is better than playing this thing. It is not for adults, but not for kids either.

                                    iPhoneMaXPowa, 30 Jun 2024At least A17 Pro is capable to run AAA games which just sho... moreWell, you can just sideload and they'll run much better with the 12gb ram they have compared to 8.

                                      Honestly, the only AAA game I'm actually surprised that didn't get much downloads was Minecraft. I don't get how it only still has 10M+ downloads on Gplay, for what is possibly THE most popular game.

                                        who knew that paid games wouldn't be as popular on a phone as free games!? What a revelation this was!

                                        At least this was great for marketing purposes and I think that's all that Apple wanted, to let people know that these are "Pro" chips capable of running triple A games but if you pushed settings low enough you could run even Cyberpunk, not sure what the point was, in practice the games aren't THAT great to look at on these phones.

                                        Besides, who's buying these phones to play games specifically? 50 dollars ain't chump change, if I paid so much I'd want to play the game at the best possible conditions, like on a console or PC.

                                        The biggest takeaway for me is the fact that ubisoft charges 50 bucks for AC Mirage and Capcom charges 30 bucks for the masterpiece that is RE4. Ubisoft never stopped scamming eh lol

                                        People don't really care about AAA games on phones, why pay such huge amounts for a truly subpar experience? And that's not even including the awkwardness of a touchscreen or using the phone as a display with a controller.

                                        What Apple should've done, if they knew even a little about the gaming market, is to try putting indie games on Apple first. Return of the Obra Dinn, Slay The Princess, Shadow Tactics, Katana Zero and SIMPLE games like Outlast, Mario, Sonic or critically acclaimed games like OMORI and Undertale. So many games to choose from and they chose AC Mirage lmao. Try porting GT7 or a Forza game or something. If you can't get nothing else just get Cuphead man. Like seriously there's so many games and these guys chose AC Mirage ffs.
