[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 5140307, member: 32303"] I have no particular objection to ports, I mainly chose them there as few would object to calling them games and if they can run natively (though I would also hold being able to emulate them counts). There is a fair bit of original IP as well in the phone world, not that it matters that much. Likewise if we go by previous records you might be surprised just how many GBA and DS devs both were swayed by IOS at the end of the DS' lifetime and make android stuff today. Indeed that exodus of devs pretty much gutted the 3ds for me -- the 3ds has an incredibly weak library when compared to its predecessors. Volume wise it could be 99.99% junk for all I care -- volume of "shovelware" makes little difference. If my arcade platform can count by virtue of having less than a dozen games but said games being "good" then it does not matter if there is a lot of junk elsewhere, well it probably does matter if you are the one running a store but at this point I am not wearing an investor hat. Alternatively in terms of pure volume of junk the PC has surely got everything else beat. Games have actions that do the same things (a test of some kind of skill -- physical speed, physical reactions, mental acuity/tricks, some combination of the lot), even if such things can occasionally have a random element that may change things. I do not see any functional difference between a lot of facebook, android and general web games. In these cases I usually point at something like [url]http://www.illyriad.co.uk/[/url] and also say something like I do not see an awful lot of difference between various shmups and various tower defense games. Not a platform for gaming, certainly not a dedicated one but neither is my PC. Not an ideal one either, at least if we come at it from the angle of traditional computer games, however not all that much is and basic industrial manufacture will probably see that be the case for decades yet. "no proper game culture" What does that mean? Also you might be surprised what is going on in the schools around the place. To come at it the other way what is game culture normally -- I go for literary or film criticism/culture and those in it know the field/technical side of things reasonably well, in games I often find it a significantly smaller percentage that are able to talk about an area, much less go into proper detail of something like game theory. Buttons are but a means to an end and a tool to help things, they are certainly a good one (they are cheap, reliable, effective at the task, well understood...) but they do not change much of anything really.
