The mobile market is a pool of dead fish. You either create a one hit wonder or you get no-where special. What else has King made that is noteworthy? Nothing. What has Rovio come out with better than Angry Birds? Nothing. What was special about Flappy Bird? Nothing. Do DotGears have any other popular games? No. Has HalfBrick created a more popular game than Fruit Ninja? No You can hire a bunch of low-cost overseas developers to make anything you want for cheap... have a gaze at freelancer sites and you'll heaps of "make me a copy of x game". Countless games (& crud) for mobiles come out everyday, further diluting the market to the point that the value of games is also diluted. General consumers look at the price of a console game and compare them to the price of mobile game (I worked in a store for 7 years selling games, consoles & phones, the change of view over time was apparent.) and most of the time, they will choose the cheap option ESPECIALLY if it is for their children. There is almost no game loyalty on mobile markets, people will play(consume) then replace it with another game, this is also a side affect of valueless games... people don't care because it cost them next to nothing. 10 years ago before the mobile markets were anything, people bought games costing $80 - $120, people played fewer games, however played them longer and there was no pressure to complete it quickly because you have a game backlog or you wanted to get the "achievements". This doesn't just effect games, we only notice it because that's the industry we're paying attention to. The same effects can be found in most industries, we live in a "throw-away society" now. Prepare to see over-night game companies popup and burn in the years to come.

I wish you good luck, Alcom . I hope, that his final answer won't be "Thanks for the free advertisement. btw: I only made several screenshots in LDD, used Photoshop etc. and created those pictures with another FoV. *insert trollface* "
