With this new hardware peripheral we will have an effective fourth home console fighting for our time and money."
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
Epic Games scored a win against Apple as the iPhone's manufacturer is being forced by the European Commission to reinstate Epic's iOS developer account, paving the way for the return of Fortnite to the platform.
Beh. Tim Sweeney is such a pain. He's always trying to force Apple to play by his rules. He should make his own phone, and launch his own app store there and see if he can make it viable. Options are nice, unless they're parasitic, i.e. Epic Games / CCP.
Epic Games' iOS developer account has been terminated as Apple is blocking once again the attempt to bring the Epic Games Store and Fortnite to its devices. The company also really didn't like Tim Sweeney's public criticism on Twitter.
Millions of people are already playing games on iOS. And Apple is already making serious money on gaming apps alone.
The tens of millions of people who bought a Wii for Wii Sports did not prevent games like Bioshock, Skyrim, Witcher, Mass Effect, etc, etc from hitting the market. The iPhone didn't prevent the DS and PSP from becoming two of the best-selling handhelds of all time.
Apple releasing a controller isn't suddenly going to make core games vanish, even though the Apple cultists would want you to believe it.
Now the only thing they need is real games!
a controller? just because you attach a controller to something doesn't make it a competitor for the game industry, hell there have been tons of controllers released for smart devices and tablets, hasn't changed a damn thing for consoles.
Games on iPad and other mobile devices will never replace game consoles. No true gamer would say, "wow I'm totally selling my ps3 360 and wii today and going to go buy a tiny mobile device and play a simple $10 game and a crappy add on controller ASAP!!!!"
The experience is far too limiting and unfulfilling. Nothing more than a quick 10, 20 min bus ride or lunch break activity. Simple as that.
