This is one of those things where I might care if I didn't think the games industry was doomed either way. Why is it doomed? Because of pay-to-win, microtransactions and in-app purchases. There's just so much money to be made with mobile games. Diablo Immortal probably cost almost nothing to make and will probably make over $1 billion when all is said and done. How can a games company ignore that? This is getting to the point where it requires government intervention. Virtual currencies, randomness (eg loot boxes) and obfuscated outcomes all combine to hidehow much real money things cost and how much you're spending. It's predatory in exactly the same way slots are. Until that happens, games are going to just be sports franchises, shooters and mobile games with a handful of exception that are mostly longstanding franchises.
