Hahaha, every dev nowadays wants milk the mobile cash cow, seems the udders are quite giving!

OK. I won't be able to play a mobile only game, though--don't have a smartphone or anything like it.

Well, hey, we don't know whether this particular game is actually going to be crappy.

Either way, I don't see it as a bad thing. Even if it sucks, at least it could mean some extra cashflow for the company, to invest in bigger projects such as TW3 or that Cyberpunk(?) project. If there's lots of money in these mobile games, they might as well take a piece of the cake -- it's not like we have to buy it if we don't like it.

I think that's dud logic, really. Making mobile games that sell decently does not mean CDP will somehow make more PC games, the only thing it will assure is that more mobile games will be made. Profitable mobile games only means more mobile games, that's the only thing capitalism can assure us, there's no reason at all to think CDP will someone invest that in other ventures.

There's no reason that a PC game if it's good would not sell a high amount. Why not invest that money to make PC games instead? ie mid-budget PC games in the 3 million dollar budget range.

For now I can see this going in one of two ways

1) the "game" ends up being the same typical micro-transaction "moneygrab" that is all to common in mobile gaming

2) they make a game that shames the competition & shows that you don't need to financially gut the user base to make a profit.
