As an aspiring dev, I always tough of mobile as platform limited by it’s past.
We got used to free crappy games because the hardware couldn’t do more. Since then the platform evolved quite a bit, but the equation on people minds stayed the same, mobile games = (free,crappy,gotcha).
Maybe I part of the problem most games I play on mobile are through emulators and quite honestly I do it to burn time not to enjoy the experience for that I would go for my pc, I would like for a change of paradigm and stopped supporting and playing simple gotcha free games, but I think the paradigm will never shift, unless something big breaks out for a couple bucks that creates a trend or even a genre.
