>Comparing Phone games to desktop ones Yeah but where is the border? There are lot of games on iOS that are basically the same as on PC/consoles maybe with a different UI and lower graphics. But you get the same features and experience. You can now play GTA San Andreas on your Mac cause it was released on iOS. And it's one of the best game ever https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/id763692274 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/i... Genshin Impact which is currently one of the hottest game? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/genshin-impact/id1517783697 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/genshin-impact/id1517783697 I see no difference really

genshin impact basically sealed the deal for me no point buying a nintendo switch much less a proper mac. I can get by with non-apple silicon arm Chromebooks like the wonderful lenovo duet

  Seal the deal? It looks like a crappy pay-to-win mobile game.

    pay to win what exactly? its a ripoff of breath of the wild, and doesn't seem to have a clear winning state especially in the free single player campaign. macos probably runs this now given its pretty popular on iPad right now. Open world games usually only launch on consoles/PC but unreal engine allows games like this to arrive on mobile platforms as well. mobile games need to lose some of the stigma when they keep gaining console like titles in the app stores

Oh come on. GTA San Andreas is a great game, but it also came out for Play Station 2, 16 years ago! There is some hope with games made specifically for controllers that are not hobbled by on screen controls but still. Claims of “console level graphics” are only true because a PS3 is a console, which is about the level of graphics an iOS device can handle.

You can play PC GTA San Andreas at >60 fps on a 10 year old laptop pulled from a dumpster.
