I’m not following the hate train on mobile games. I don’t get it: with games like Honky Star Rail and Pokemon GO, which people obviously love and spend money playing, it doesn’t make sense. If the objective measure is financial success or just popularity, phone games win; if you disagree that these are the measures of a good game, tell that to the industry because they don’t care about your subjectivity.

Is this just a case of old gamers being jealous and gate keeping their time-waster hobbies?

          lol, someone did actually report this thread for “breaking commuinity rules,” but it wasn’t you.

          (for the record, this breaks no rules.)

          (disclaimer: the term “computer games” in this context means literally any video game; “computer games” is what grandma says when she tells you to “stop playing those damn computer games and go outside!”)

            Yeah I thought about actually reporting it as a joke, since I saw you are the mod and you commented, but am not sure if reports go to just the community mods or to the server admins also and didn’t want to be a dick over a pretty lame joke lol.
