I guess they're games. They're not GOOD games, but they're still games. Plus, there are a few mobile games that are actually decent. Not all of them are as shitty as the one in the OP.

Anyone else question how the fuck phone games are managing to make these stupidly expensive ads recently? Shit I saw one with I'm pretty sure it was Arnold Schwarzenegger in a military outfit advertising for some shitty phone RTS game. Not to mention a lot of them have a shitload of CGI which is expensive to make.

This. The few games that manage to find a market make it really big. That's why there's so many imitators.
Of course by very nature of there being so many imitators means that the market is really unreliable and you can't count on your shitty game becoming a success.

Of course they are. Phone games are more games than today's AAA titles. No 9 hour long cinematics between gameplay, no mandatory tutorials for the simplest shit. No nonsense. No bullshit.

Phone games take the most essential elements of gaming and focuses them into one tight package. AAA titles are just a slough of minigames and other bullshit put into fancy graphics.

If you can't survive at least 5 minutes in Temple Run then you're not a hardcore gamer. Simple as that.

I call them "disguised cash machines".

It's usually enough to have people ponder about what I just said and realize the game value is lower than pong, that it plays on similar reward mechanisms creating dependence, and that the rest is all about getting their monies.

Regardless of how much you like them, they are technically video games. Not very good ones generally, mind you, but why does it even matter?

Flash games.

Flash because the ideas for every top game came from a .swf on newgrounds 10 years ago.
Flash because they're quick.
>>
>>320707015
A mouse is a peripheral.
>>
>>320707015
No, because that's an adjective. We refer to them as a Mouse because it's the main noun of the phrase, just as "Game" is the main noun of "Video games" and "Application" is the main noun of "Game Application"

At least with games like Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, Angry Birds and Plants v Zombies people actually like those games.

It's easier to be dismissive of the entire platform if the things on it don't have the same name as things OP likes. Plus if you changed phone games to "FunApps" or something, phone gamers would no longer be counted in 'x percent of gamers are y demographic' polls.

It's literally arguing semantics.

Every country where they are a majority has turned into a partially theocratic shithole, and every country where they are a minority they are out-breeding and out-immigrating the current majority population until they are the majority.

Still Christian. No "actual" because they all branched off on interpretations. Only idiots say they have one true faith in their cult.

Nah, just whatever ones fit with the culture they live in and dont force some shitty rules they abide in Middle East/Africa.

Cult; noun. A system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object. The Cult of St. Olaf for instance.

Modern religious nutters offing themselves to ride a space-ship made of wishes into a star is what gave the word cult a dirty reputation. It became a byword for loony religions.
