Mobile is just such a fucking powerhouse of revenue while having so few truly good games.

Sure we have ports of old PC/Console classics like KotOR and Baldurs Gate but the majority of the revenue is from shit like clash of clans, various card games, raid shadow legends and other "merge RPGs" and gacha games. And all the best ones tend to have a much better experience on PC/Console like say Genshin Impact, PUBG and COD.

It kinda blows my mind that the revenue leader by such a massive margin only has stuff like Candy Crush and Angry Birds as their "triple A exclusives".

That said, with 3 kids I sadly spent more 2023 on Mobile games than PC games... So I'm part of the problem here, it's just so accessible when the gaming I want to do just isn't feasible due to life and work.

A few? Can you tell me what they are?

Always wished there was a community somewhere for sharing actually decent mobile games.
