That's nice. Am I supposed to be happy that games like candy crush are doing well?

Of which anyone can play on a windows 10 computer?

The author may be very well right, but it's very hard to gauge it.

E.g. comparing console sales in US in May vs. April vs mobile games in Europe Feb-March. That makes no sense. I stopped reading at that point.

I'm still not sure why Ars thinks it's good practice to have stupid articles from Financial Times be reposted here.

Gaping the weekend with content from Wired/FT for a long time now. You don't have to read these non OG articles.

Um, I've only seen FT articles here in the past few months. Even then, it's a step below wired.

But I guess a poster who just registered at the beginning of this year vs me who's been here for nearly 15, wouldn't know that.

You registered fifteen minutes ago? I guess that explains why you wouldn’t have seen the Wired article posted just last Sunday.

Are you incapable of understanding "beginning of this year vs me who's been here for nearly 15"?

Oh, wait, I get it now, you (Honeybog) and "macosandlinux" both conveniently registered on the same day.

Seems like you have a problem managing your sock puppet accounts. I guess I'll just ignore both.

I don't understand why people are very hostile to this article.

It's the lack of depth, and the fact it presents nothing that can be called "new" or "interesting".

Sounds like a typical appleinsider cheerleader article.

No, I'm not against mobile gaming per se. And I'm not really crazy about new consoles or other stuff either.
