I tried nba2k once when I got free 3 months of apple arcade. Aside from not being able to play properly on a small interface with no physical keys or buttons, my phone got incredibly hot after 15 mins of playing. That’s far from being the best game console.

I firmly believe gaming is a terrible use of phones. They use enough battery doing productive things like phone calls, browsing, data entry, etc. Gaming should be done on dedicated systems that don't force you to choose between using your finite battery life for staying in control and playing unoptimized games on unergonomic slabs.
