Generally because the people that play mobile games are casuals that are idiots.

Thus, the only conclusion we can come to is the majority of peoples are casual fools. Faith in humanity dwindling.

>Want to make good video games
>know that you have to fight all the P2W shit, twitch generation kiddies who don't play, the CoD kids who won't touch your game, this generation of gamers who can't handle an iota of difficutly and want instant gratification, gaming journalism potentially outting you for problematic material (or ignoring your game to promote someone else), homestuck/FN@F/Undertale fans clinging to your game and ruining the reputation, and the cost/difficulty/time of creating a game.

Wake up and smell the ashes.

>poll to determine how many people play video games
>people who only play candy crush and other shit mobile games are counted as gamers
Why the fuck is this allowed? I feel like this skews a lot of other things in the poll, like the male-to-female ratio among gamers.

will there ever be a time where mobile games aren't trash?
like there's plenty of genres that would work really well on mobile, but it seems like nobody can resist nickel and diming people which turns their games into glorified slot machines
>tfw the industry caters to the stupid people
>tfw there is no end in sight for this fucking bullshit
>>332498430
the only hope is to vilify gaming so that casuals see it as something only a degenerate would touch. otherwise enjoy the future because catering to retarded casuals is a guaranteed get rich scheme.

We need to get VR to take off so everyone jumps ship from video games to /vr/
>Devs are forced to appease to niche audiences who want quality games or sellout for VR.
>All the gaming politics die down in favor of VR politics.
>Games can flourish and branch out into new ideas and concepts like the 90s and early 2000s.

It really isn't so crazy when you think about it. Everyone has a smartphone, it is easily accessible. Even my girlfriends mom plays a game on there constantly.
