How come iphone or mobile games in general have been so lackluster? Like at least early on they sort of tried like when they tried to port CoD Zombies, Wolfenstein and Doom, Driver and Tony Hawk or even Bad Company 2 to it among other games like RE4, but somehow they got worse over time. Are there any good iOS games at all anymore?

Touch-screens and the large majority of the mobile market being composed by non-gamers.

why are you asking questions you already know the answer too? why do you make threads like these just to fish for replies?

The touchscreen is suited to casual games and the overwhelming majority of people who play games on phones are casuals. Therefore the potential profitability of casual games is higher. On top of this even if we were to assume there is a fairly large number of people interested in more core games. They'd probably still rather play them on a Console/PC. For example I tried using the Vita's remote-play thing with the PS4 but it feels much worse than just playing on the PS4 directly.

Even then though the rate at which mobile gaming devolved over time is outstanding. Even with EA shit like Dead Space or AssCreed you'd get a fair bit of game for a buck or so, now it's mainly free 2 play shit with ads or microtransactions.

Who needs new games anyway?
Also, fuck iOS.

Mobile market is a heaven for shovelware. It's structure is perfect for it.
Basically, phones are for literal casuals.
