Okay but really, why are they all boring 3D fighters that have barely changed since the PS2 era?

    I wouldn’t buy it either because mobile devs have a terrible track record of not bothering to update their games to the newest version of the OS, the older the game, the less likely it is they will update it, I lost considerable money many years ago when CAVE shooters weren’t updated to the current (at the time) android version.

    Even big ones like square enix had to be almost harassed to update The World Ends With You Solo Remix for newer versions and I think in 2021 capcom just gave up in updating monster hunter freedom unite.

      Windows’ relentless backwards compatibility is underrated, but it’s so damn nice I can still play games from 2005 effortlessly. Android has been a shitshow in comparison, as even when mobile gaming wasn’t so shit (Doodle Jump, Angry Birds etc), the whole era has been almost wiped from existence.
