When was $10 for a SimCity-like game ever viable? Even if you say that you can live with reduced graphics fidelity and functionality, that's still a lot of work involved. I don't even think the original SimCity was $10 in 1980s dollars.
I guess the canonical example of "you can deliver a premium gaming experience on phones for under $10" is Minecraft, but unless you can sell the volume Minecraft is, you need to make more per user than they do.
- CydeWeys 9y agoThere are lots of amazing mobile game experiences available that cost under $10 for a one-time purchase. I don't understand why you think they must all necessarily have AAA budgets in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. One person or a small team of people can easily make an amazing game.
