Jobs told The Wall Street Journal that Apple needs the capability in case it inadvertently allows a malicious program -- such as an application that steals user's personal data -- to be distributed to iPhones through its App Store.
Ubisoft’s Invincible: Guarding the Globe does little to differentiate itself from other mediocre gacha games.
Developer Zynga has confirmed that Star Wars Hunters will launch globally for Android and iOS devices on June 4, 2024.
Sony's bold step into the mobile gaming world as they developing a new PlayStation Mobile Platform for free-to-play games.
if they make their mobile games playable on ps5 and their maybe new handheld, that would be huge. cause i aint playing any free games on my phone, cause mobile games suck. haha.
I like mobile games, but the problem for me is that «free games» usually has alot of p2w or other microtransaction connected to them. LoL, Hearthstone, civ, fm etc is great on iPad 😊 Would love to see rise of kingdoms etc Get rid of p2w formula.
Does anyone remember PS MInis from the PS3 era? I feel like most of those were mobile games that were ported...No reason they couldn't do that again I suppose. :)
Ha, I remember those! They didn’t have trophies so I’ve lost track of most of them, but I remember Hysteria Project and Angry Birds.
I feel like people don't understand what mobile gaming is anymore.
It's not the button phone cheap Tetris clones or movie licensed stuff anymore.
Mobile gaming is huge games like Genshin Impact Honkai: Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Amazon and Bandai/Namco's Blue Protocol games with budgets that rival and even exceed AAA, but even things like CoD and other big western games have mobile versions.
All the games listed also have PC and console versions.
Sony already owns several big mobile games most famously Fate/Grand Order.
i feel like you are overblowing what other ppl have said ha.
most mobiles are still very much your gatcha style of gaming.
the games u listed, absolutely, but that wasnt even my comment. mobile games, if they are not on anything else, sucks. so to have them on a handheld with buttons or on a console to, would be a win for me
I'm going to say this and ether A: I'm crazy or B: I'm crazy, but do any of you remember when Sony years back had the Xperia Play. Touched one never got it myself. If Sony is looking for a handheld (Look at Apple with the games it can run on there own devices) I wonder if maybe, just maybe they try to make a play for the Phone space again. Just my 2 cents, well with inflations I guess my 2 dimes.
Make an Xperia Play 2 that actually has functionality with the PS5 and I might bite! Loved the Xperia Play, showing off Crash Bandicoot on it was great but that's the only game I had for it.
Steve Jobs is a loser
Its more of a better thing than a bad thing, at least they are looking out for their consumers, they wouldn't want something bad to sneak through their app store.
For some reason I am reminded of that old Apple advert they did back in the 80's (some older members may remember it). If you have never seen the advert you can watch it here :-

It was all wonderfully iconic, you know the kind of thing mankind controlled by "the man", it was all very big brother. Naturally Apple was going to break you free and empower you yadda yadda yadda.
Now skip to today some 24 years later, I guess Stevie and Apple found it more fun to be "big brother" I mean you can't get any more big brother than having the power to access every Iphone and be able to alter the function (ie remove software) without the users consent.
Didn't this make the news in the first place because they caught an app that used that kill switch to kill your phone when you downloaded it?
I dunno, I don't like Apple. I fell in love with the iPod touch though, and after spending 400$, they made me pay again for the app store.
Everyone keeps saying that they think Apple should enter the gaming market. I can't imagine anyone I would want less in the gaming market. Probably would ship consoles without AC adapters and charge for system updates.
And just so people don't get it twisted, the kill switch does not steal personal information, its a program that finds other programs that slip through the app store for whatever reason that might be able to steal customer info, so they placed this kill switch in place just in case something like this ever happens.
