      Out of all the games you listed, I believe King prints the most $ for Activision.

          I think it’s a bit of both. King is a big name in the market, but mobile gaming is just such a massive revenue stream for companies anyways. IIRC, the mobile market accounts for more money than all other gaming markets combined.

            Which I still hold as fucking stupid, why play a shitty mobile game when ya could just emulate the entire SNES games catalogue.

              Those aren’t the same customer demographics. The overwhelming majority of mobile phone gamers don’t know the first thing about emulators. Not to mention, other factors like mobile games being designed to tap into addictive triggers in the brain, social engineering, etc.
