Mobile games don’t qualify as games. They’re riddled with micro transactions and ads, and I would know… I’m complicit in this, as I’m translating their games, of which the cash shops are a noticeable chunk.

May unity milk them till the udder produces nothing but pus.

Agreed, there are very very few actually good experience on mobile and most of those got ported to PC. Too bad non mobile devs have to suffer because Unity see’s a easily exploitable goldmine in mobile gaming.

What uh…. Games are not riddled with micro transactions these days? Do you consider console/pc games riddled with micro transactions not games?

What is your definition of a game?

Little Inferno. Pathos. Shadowrun & Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Most everything on FDroid.

I have a ton of mobile games from Humble Bundle that don't have any ads

    Those are all games I install from APK & play on my phone. What the fuck are you on about?

    Your position that “Mobile games don’t qualify as games”.

    Sorry, I didn’t realize you were too stupid to remember the words you wrote.

    Which Pathos?

    Games before 2010. Nowadays: Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Armored Core 6. Games where the publisher doesn’t try to nickel and dime you exist.

    Afrazzle,

    A lot of them are trash but some are better than even RDR2.

    operetingushisutemu,

    I need names, please I need games :D

    Afrazzle,

    Not everybody’s cup of tea but genshin impact is unironically a very good game. I was extremely skeptical at first but got drawn in by the world building, the soundtrack, the combat system, and it also filled the void of a new world to explore that WoW left behind after I quit.

    HipPriest,

    I would say that the most obnoxious games live on mobile but think it's going to hard the other way to say good games on mobile don't exist.

    Mostly you have to pay for the good ones which is true of most things in life. I say this because I've been playing Root, Kingdom Two Crowns and the Rusty Lake games this week on my tablet and feel like a lot of people also play quality things not crap on mobile devices

    There’s an iPhone port of death stranding?

    nezbyte,

    Requires an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPad

    The issues I have with these ports:

    • They are harder to control if you don’t use a controller.
    • Using a controller is cumbersome when you’re not at home
    • I don’t know if I can play these ports in 10 years. With a console, I’m pretty sure my PS5 games will work in 10 years because the platform won’t change and the PC is at least an open platform, so there is a chance that older games will still be playable on newer systems. But on iPhone it’s not guaranteed.

    This was a long time coming. In every instance so far, the “little” people (devals, programmers, studios and so on) have been cast aside for more everything be it exposure or money or other companies. They all see ti get far too big for their britches and at the same time forget where they came from and who helped make them who they are. It’s about time this standing up to Big Corp happens. They have FA far too long its time those “little” people teach Big Corp a lesson and make Big Corp FO. Business is about (or at least should be)far more than money and making obscene abouts of profits year over year. When people have nothing left to lose and people feel pushed into a corner for too long they’re gonna fight back. It’s happened all through history. Let this be the chage that needs to happen.

    What a power move. It’s inspiring to see the community come together.

    Tbh, I probably would have started with something a bit less complicated than those games.

    Portal 2 would have been a better option, IMO. Something with relatively simple controls and not super enemy-focused.

    Different typa gamer...

    Get them candy crush with mtx... that's what prints on mobile

    efstajas,

    I think it’s mostly just that phones by themselves absolutely suck as a form factor for pretty much everything but casual games.

    Can someone ELI5 this for me? I’m up to speed on the runtime fee but the rest of the article was over my head.

    Seems like unity owns an ad service provider and is now offering to waive this new fee if you use it instead of its more popular competitor.

    The article implies that this is the entire reason behind the new fee, but seems like it’s just a guess.

    While they are porting to Godot, those Devs can stop updating their Unity installations & keep the old ToS.

    tun,

    I heard unity removed the clause which states dev can keep the old term.

    derin,

    These companies can’t port to Godot as it doesn’t support the software stacks they use and the platforms they target (mobile).

    With the size of the players involved, it’s much more likely they go to Cocos2D in the short term, and that something new pops up in the long term to act as a proper Unity replacement.
