In the last 5-7 years I've noticed that mobile games have devolved info always online p2w shit

What the fuck happened?

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

"Nowadays" ? They're just getting good! Did you mean to say, "why are mobile games that suck, so popular" ? It's because they're accessible and usually F2P .

Take angry birds for an example,

It used to be a good game, you had your level, Maine an optional micro transaction.

Now the modern angry birds is an ad riddled mess

Oh yeah. I get it. I guess that's why I stopped playing those long ago 🙂

I'm a huge mobile gamer though. It's amazing what we can play on our phones with an xbox controller. It's better than the pc experience for me because I can map the controller how I want to and am not stuck with the defaults.

Tons of amazing games coming this year. ZZZ wuthering waves Azur Promelia Etc.

You can remap controllers on pc though, like at a system level if you use steam. I remember having to go through a whole rigamarole to customize controls for a mobile game that didn’t support controller, I had to use a weird third party tool that interpreted the controller input as virtual screen touches. It almost kinda worked lmao

I remember way back trying to play genshin on my pc and it wouldnt let me map the right button trigger to attack , like i like it and I was like, i'm just going back to mobile.

I forget that games like genshin exist lol
