There’s some negativity about the price due to it being much higher than usual for a mobile platform. But I hope that it does well. Despite having good hardware games on iOS, iPad OS and TV OS are really lacking in quality. If this game shows there is a viable market for AAA games then that could change.

    I'm not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
    want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
    Resident Evil? I'm not so sure.
    On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?

    Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use

    I’m sure a five minute wait playing RE4 on your phone will also leave you hunting for a charger at your next destination as well. As cool as it would be to play big games, my phone is just too important for everything else.
