I tend to avoid mobile games for all these reasons in the article and some in the comments. I am explicitly a Nintendo fanboy, unapologetically, because their raison d'être seems to be making fun, positive, memorable experiences wrapped up in games — not just idle distractions (or at least not primarily). This is something I find hard to communicate to people who would rather more games at a cheaper price (Steam, PSN sales) rather than a few games at a higher price (Nintendo, basically). Not that there aren't gems on Steam and the App Store/Play Store, but hardly enough to call me a fanboy of any such platform.
