with 84% identifying it as their gaming device of choice and three in ten (30%) exclusively using their smartphones for gaming. There it is. Sure, shovelware mobile gaming is technically a part of the gaming industry but should you really give a damn beyond economic reasons? It's like saying so and so group is a growing force in cinema but they're watching The Emoji Movie. Who is crafting amazing experiences on mobile? Which smartphone games move you to tears? What studio is pushing graphics to the breaking point and making users go "oh my god, I didn't know games could look like this"? When's the last time you bought a soundtrack from an iPhone game? Nobody and never.

No 50+ gamers I know either use smart phones or consoles for gaming, well some use consoles. Smart phones suck for gaming, no tactile feel from virtual buttons.

  Don't get me started. It's a huge market, there's enough consumer interest to make and sell phones with air triggers and actual cooling fans, yet somehow a d-pad and a couple buttons is a bridge too far.

  smartphones game raking in more money than their console counterpart. I don't have a source available, I hate it, because it brings a lot of bad things up.

Monument valley was good and the soundtrack was also killer. Extreme example unfortunately. Mobile gaming as a whole is trash.

> Who is crafting amazing experiences on mobile? Which smartphone games move you to tears? PC games never ever moved me to tears. PC and console games are not exactly well written, they are not about that anyway. I would rather play smartphone games, because in last 15 years, I found some I actually enjoyed. > What studio is pushing graphics to the breaking point and making users go "oh my god, I didn't know games could look like this"? This just brings price up for literally zero benefit for me.
