We have apple and the app store to thank for that. The normalization of sub $5 games did it. Mobile users won't pay AAA prices for their games.

Mobile users won't pay AAA prices for their games.

And we're all mobile users now. I know a lot of people who play mobile games on their couch within arm's reach of their console controller.

It scratches a different itch, but it does have real substitution effects in the real world, even at home.
