MODERATORS
As much as the idea of a future of gaming being on touchscreen devices saddens me, with the prices of computers going the way they are it's good that emulating on devices is becoming more and more doable. It it keeps these old games alive, so be it.
In a lot of the developing world, personal computers are a lot less common than they are in the US / Europe. Portable devices like smartphones and tablets are the primary way a lot of people access the Internet, or do any computing at all. There is a high demand to port software which conventionally only ran on PCs to these platforms. Even things like Godot (the full editor, not just exported games) have been ported to Android. Over a million people have installed it through Google Play.
