Comment on In Canada, Nintendo is increasing the price of the original Nintendo Switch.
pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 days agoWhich part of my comment was denigrating indie devs? Indie games are great. Android gaming is not.
If I’m looking for a good non-mobile game, I don’t go looking in the mobile game store. I go looking on PSN or PC, where the focus is on the kind of game that wasn’t designed as a phone-first experience.
The fact that Android has some good traditional games or ports of indie gems isn’t something inherent to Android. The overwhelming majority of thoee games were on PC or console first.

Android doesn’t just have ports of good indie games, it’s got lots of indie games that originated on mobile first – only later ported to console or PC.
Examples: Alto’s Adventure, Monument Valley, Pilkki, Endurance, Désiré.
If you’re unaware of these games, it’s not because Android as a platform sucks for gaming. It’s because discoverability is simply bad.
