This is an important point! Consumers have different price expectations depending on the context. A $20 video game might look cheap on console but be outrageously expensive for mobile.
What gets me about most mobile games is they ask for that payment but STILL inject ads and/or other micro transactions.
Or that’ll be the Price for a shitty port of a game over 20 years old, that’s worse than just emulating it. Looking at you Square Enix.
frankly most mobile games, and honestly most games in general, are just not good…
it’s basically impossible to wade through all the generic tile matching games or infinite runners or whatever low-effort tosh to find something of actual value, the vast majority of them just want you to mindlessly tap at the screen until you go into a trance and don’t notice that you started tapping on “buy corporate scrip” til your bank account runs dry
