Very surprising, how is mobile gaming changing the industry? Mobile gaming must have a big sway in how developers make and monetise their games.

60% of all gaming revenue is from mobile games
i thought it was higher than that
Console gaming makes as much money as pc gaming and mobile is way ahead.
I guess this is why Sony wants half of their games to be on mobile and pc in 2030 and why Microsoft is making a mobile game store for android and iOS.
MS noticed this a decade ago and wanted everyone to have a digital xbox library that was sharable and also would grant access to pc games of those same titles. Sony and fans literally revolted and told them it was a terrible idea. Now here we are, ever closer to that same thing for everyone.
Consoles totals never reach PC if you remove the subscription costs that console gaming has. Everyone includes it, as it should be, but it makes consoles get a $100-250 per sub boost, which equates to billions.
brown mud golems who would have never owned a console or desktop pc are now able to consume digital media
personally i would prefer not to make media that targets or caters to this demographic as it would contribute to the devolution of the medium 🙂
I agree with this anon 100%. I do not play mobile games at all, partially because of this.
thinking on it now, it's surprising how frequently PC and console gamers are at each other's throats, but chances are that they can at least agree that mobile games are a plague. dark times ahead.
>spend 1,000 USD in a phone
>only play cookie kingdom and candy crush

Consoles and PC pats are very cheap in third world countries but smartphones have more prestige. This reminds me of the people who purchase knock off designer brands. If the only reason you like something is because the name of the brand it just tells me that you need to grow up and get a life.
>Consoles and PC pats are very cheap in third world countries
They aren't especially in countries like india and brazil, they get marked up heavily.
Why spend 60 dollars when you can spend 6000
Frick you gacha-addicted tards for making this happen.
you should instead be blaming the majority of humans living on earth whose only internet enabled device is likely a phone
And the only English they know is "Kindly do the needful".
Frick Gaben for making lootboxes and monthly "battle passes" a thing in an aggressive way that barely rewarded the gamers, that every other company copied.
Most of the revenue are not from gacha games
your fault for supporting pozzed shit instead
It's not just gatcha cucks battle pass and lootboxes are in every moblie game but jt really started with Fifa and tf2
Most of the revenue is coming from SuperCell games and PUBG dumbass
>it's not from gambling
>cites gambling games
lol it's gambling.
>Most of the revenue is coming from SuperCell games
None of those games are from supercells
Gardenscapes is from Playrix(russia)
Royal match is from Dream Games(turkey)
Coin master is from Moon Active(Israel)
Candy crush is ftom King (Malta)
mobile games aren't games. they're gambling apps. linking them to actual games is just a venture capitalist scam
I don't doubt it will change the industry.
I mean for fricks sake my zoomer cousin and his friends are into it. They literally game on their phones with the touchscreen. And the idea that they don't have to wait to get something and just pay $5 to unlock it is appealing to them.
When PUBG and Warzone became a thing, it became clear to me that the future lies in mobile gaming
>SE Asia
You should all relax, this is just fake shit aimed at investors. The real data from within the industry is showing something completely different.
And if any investors are dumb enough to keep falling for this, then I guess they'll keep tossing money at shit live-service games that die within months.
> The real data from within the industry is showing something completely different.
Oh no
So... this guy is sitting in front of his PC, but chooses to play on the shitty tiny screen with clunky touch controls? What for?
why the frick didn't you believe me when i said that mobile has been the nee AAA for awhile now? and it's been like half a decade since i've said it
>people get addicting to gambling and blow all their money pulling the lever
Shocking
actually it's because brown people living in huts who have to walk 10 miles to the village to charge their phone are now online
Here are the top mobile games in terms of revenue in 2023
Honor of kings, candy crush, pubg mobile come out on top generating the most revenue.
>Supercell doesn't even rank
Those dumb fins let China pull the rug out from under them
Never would have guessed PUBG would have found its wings in mobile gaming after dying on pc
it's been years, dude. kids in india killed each other just to play it
>Genshin at #4
That's actually really surprising. I thought it would be at least in the top 3, if not number 1.
The main character looks like this , a gay hooker and the introduction is painful, I tried playing it three times and got filtered.
I think this and the way they promote the game kills potential downloads. If they had a better understanding of the western market, fixed the massive storage space issue, walls of text and way characters look and behave they could easily be number 1.
I was able to go through hours of the genshin clone tower of fantasy (till I got bored and looked at the cutscenes), but genshin ugh ugh ugh. It suffers from too much text and poor writing in general, honokai star rail whilst better still sucks dick, felt like a rip off lord of heros. Despite the bigger budget is overall worse in every single way.
Also I just gotta say that there should be more customisation in mobile games. Dragon raja has awsome customisaton but most games including tower of fantasy don't even try lol.
The amount of women that spend money on shit like Candy Crush, Gardenscapes, and all those shitty lottery games is insane.
mobile should be separated out. but that means the video game market likely shrunk.
This makes sense, around 2008-2013 there was a massive exodus of people from the gambling and casino industry and they proliferated throughout the vidya game industry. It's why every single thing has a micro transaction or addictive (but non-fun) tint to it. It's why most of you feel miserable playing your F2p products but can't stop playing them. The older I get the more I understand why so many nations ban gambling, it truly is evil.
Hey zoomers in the thread, do you remember transferring from playing shitty games on some touchscreen tablet or phone to playing games that don't have objectively terrible controls? I can't believe anyone could go back, so they must just keep most people from every trying right?
Brother the controls are easier on mobile and the skill gap is a lot lower. It is understandable why peoppe play pubg mobile and other fps games on their phones. Lot less sweaty and a lot easier to play with the aimbot thwt helps. I honestly like playing fortnite on my phone.
>easier

The only games i played as a kid was smash on my wii u and clash royal on my tablet before I got a switch
How else do you think kusoge factories like SE survive? DQ and SaGa gacha is all they have
AAA crap and indie slop are so bad that people prefer gacha phone games.
60 % and to this day I still havent seen a single good mobile game. doesnt make any sense 🙁
pajeets and normies trading pngs
arknights is good
Rip off bloons tower defence 5 with a gorrilion different currencies. I nvever thought a company could be more israeli than gameloft till I downloaded that game.
doesn't have to be good. just look at regular AAA
morons are so mad at anime gacha games that they don't even realize most revenue is made up of billions of people playing fricking match 4 and buying lootbox cosmetics.
that golf game where you customize your character is extremely popular. i bet they don't even know this
i simply do not understand why the frick would you ever actually play mobile games instead of just installing retroarch and getting access to actual games
I've always got dolphin, citra, ppsspp or something up. Even keep a nice slim foldable controller accessory in my work bag or back pocket. I think most people who play mobile are into the casino feel of those games, that's the actual attraction. The games you and I like are not the same in that respect.
>emulation
Would rather play a gorrilion mobile games tbh
>hardware fetishist

No, I just find the whole process gay. I tried emulating 3ds games on my snapdragon 865 phone only got 35fps on a game like smash bros. Going through all that piss to try and get it running only to get 34fps and janky controls. Rather not even bother entirely.
Like most people do not want to go through that shit. And most people don't want to emulate or play pc games/ports of pc games.
The reason why mobile games aren't as you say is because no one wants them. They don't care about old ass games. Nor does anyone really want to play games with extremely janky controls with extremely dated graphics.
And there are no full priced aaa games as few android users want that, they would would rather pirate it than pay 60 buckaroos. There isn't any money to be made making fully priced mobile games. Wreckfest sold over 900k copies on steam but only 10k on android.
Women buying rubber points on candy crush doesn't count as gaming
see? this is the problem
>just sheepishly ignoring it and brushing off the massive problem
sheepish. look up the word.
>mobile gaming
It's just gambling on the go.
Whales carry those numbers. The overwhelming majority don't spend a cent.
Nah, ads carry it
