Since 2017 mobile gaming has had a larger market share than gaming for PC and consoles. Everyone has their mobile phones on them at all times and that advantage has been the driving force of mobile games taking over a larger share, the convenience of playing games while on your commute, during breaks, virtually anywhere is a big selling point. Also, the practicality of not shelling out money for a specific gaming console or money to upgrade a gaming PC has hooked consumers that would have not been able to afford those devices.
As a result, many companies are now porting their successful games for mobile. What do you think about the rise of mobile gaming? Do you think it will cause a nosedive in the quality of games? Will it be the downfall of console and PC games?

In the recent years cell phone technology and capabilities have truly skyrocketed, compared to what cell phones were capable of before that time. Today you can pay through your phone , send your emails , play games , take good quality photos. They have become an extension of ours. So I think those that took advantage of that and created games for mobile phones are making good money right now. Although these games cannot yet be compared to console or PC games in terms of graphics and quantity of content , these games are here to stay, evolve and flourish, because people will always want to play games.

Exactly! There is no way of comparing PC games or Consoles games with mobile smartphone games. It's never close at in any way whatsoever because the gaming specs are completely on a different level with PC and console games.

Maybe in the future, mobile games would improve to get to the level of PC or console games but it won't be anytime soon.

I completely agree. As of now, there is now way of comparing PC and Console games to Mobile games but with the rapid advancement of technology I have a feeling that the future would be sooner rather than later. Every year a couple of new powerful SoC is unveiled, each more powerful than the ones before it. At this rate we could have a far more advanced gaming environment on mobile in 4-5 years.

Well, it is a different gadget after all. You can't really compare something that's created for consoles or PC to something as new as smartphones. But they're quickly improving in so many aspects.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that smartphones have become the new form of gaming. It has the potential to somehow surpass PC gaming since phones can be brought just about anywhere easily.

Man that's very well put, thank you, I agree with what you've said the capabilities of a phone today is massive compared to what it's capable before, it amazes me how people do this kind of things. People are awesome man, we're living in a very interesting time, I also agree that PC games are way more superior than mobile games well of course it's obvious the computer has many parts but a phone is just a single little thing where you can bring it anywhere and play games, I mean isn't that amazing?

Yes, it is amazing. That portability is what I think would keep it on top of the market share for the foreseeable future. When I was child I couldn't have imagined playing my PS one games on a screen much smaller than my TV, much less on a phone. This advancement that we are seeing in our lifetime is truly interesting.

Well i dont think that there will be a drastic decline in the use of Computers and gaming consoles due to the use of Smartphones in playing online games. I usually prefer to play games on my mobile as it is more convinient and accesible all the time. However people who are hardcore fans of playing games on there gaming consoles and computers wont find find the same appeal in playing those games on smartphones. There is a huge difference in playing games on Smartphones and on the gaming consoles or computers.

This is why it is important that everyone should plan their day to avoid wasting any time.

Mobile gaming just like gaming on any device can be addictive but if you allocate an hour or two to gaming every day if you just can't do without it, then that time wouldn't have been lost because you set it aside specifically for gaming.

Mobile gaming is getting to be a big industry but I don't think it can overtake the traditional computer games for now because the quality of the mobile games are more for the amateur enthusiasts. When you are into serious gaming nothing can beat the game on the console and even the computer can give you a different gaming experience than what a gaming app can do. My prediction with the trend is that there will be 2 paths of gaming, i.e. one for mobile and one for computer gamers.

You're right. There certainly seems to be paths being made for gamers alike. One is for smartphone users who enjoy mobile gaming. The other is for intense players looking for the adrenaline rush of PC online games.

Multiplayer is the most in demand type of game right now. I feel like it's surpassed the demand for classic arcade type games.

I played a lot of video game in my life and most of it is on pc but having this new platform is really exciting and also phones right now a having higher and higher specs so the quality of this mobile game will gradually increase and better quality games equal to a lot more mobile gamers.

I think that the rise of mobile gaming is now becoming more popular as it gives a lot of convenience to the people out there. I have many friends who are mostly playing their favorite online and offline games in their mobile because they can easily have it even during their office hours in work and I think that is one reason why mobile gaming is becoming more in demand nowadays. But of course I think the PC gaming would still be in its way as the two options of gaming have different views and uses on each other. It will only depend now on the discretion and preferences of a certain individual if what would suit his/her best interest.

Though technology has opened the doors for improved mobile gaming it still doesn't compare to consoles and even PC gaming. Mobile phones still have a limitation and one of them is the battery life. Compared to console/PC which can give you unlimited gaming time, with a mobile you're only limited to a couple of hours. Though there are some great mobile games, the quality still doesn't compare with those that are available on PC/console. So no I don't think it would cause the downfall of PC and console gaming.

Though technology has opened the doors for improved mobile gaming it still doesn't compare to consoles and even PC gaming.

There is also the small screen size which makes it suitable for playing some games but less so for others. There are plenty of racing games that can be played on mobile devices but fact is this games will look a lot of different on a bigger screen.

And there are some games which can be enjoyed more because of the accessories like gaming steering wheels which is why some games made for console or PC can't be enjoyed on a mobile device because you might need such peripherals to improve the quality of gaming.

Like you rightly put it, the advantage mobile phones offer, it's the fact that it's with you everywhere you go. Whenever, wherever you feel bored, or have some idle time to kill, or feel like having a little gaming fun, your mobile phone is right there with you. It'll be a little odd playing games on your pc in certain places, and this is something you can easily get away with when gaming on your phone.

I think mobile gaming was expected. I am sure now the high RAM mobile phones will come to market. Also the screen size of different type is likely to be there. I have seen some of the mobile gaming market opening up for android. And also some cases where the marketplace with the new OS would be something we can see. So far android has no new competition. But in near future that may surely happen.

Mobile gaming will get to be more and more popular because of the portability of mobile devices but it has its place. Fact is though we'll be seeing more games for mobile being made and the quality of said games improving quite a lot, the PC gaming market will remain unchanged.

What we'll probably see however is more cross-platform compatibility. Games will be made to compatible with practically any platform so it wouldn't really matter where you play it because you'll have the same version for PC, mobile and console. The game developers will probably make more money this way.

It's an 80/20 ballgame nowadays, 80 percent of Internet users are using Smartphones to access the internet and only 20 percent are PC users. This means the clear majority of people playing games are doing so using Smartphones and the number will continue to rise in the future. In my opinion this may eventually lead to the collapse and deterioration of the PC and Console gaming industries.

I think that most people I know prefer Pc and console gaming because the prefer comfort over convenience. I think because more people have smart phones than PC's and consoles this is going to take over in a major way. Most young gamers that I know use their phones.

What you wrote is really true. Most recently, I read an article about the impact of phone games on humans. I was struck by the fact that by the end of 2020 ( that is, already now) almost ? of the world's population (2.4 billion) play mobile games and global revenue from mobile games grew to $ 76.7 billion. This is a huge amount. However, in any case, I personally prefer computer or PS games. In addition, the computer game industry is also developing quite quickly recently. For example, just recently I learned about puzzler’s Fortnite maps on https://quantumbuilds.studio/puzzler/. I think it's really very exciting.

Mobile gaming is becoming more and more popular these years due to constant technology development, and you can easily find a lot of serious projects playable on your phone. But still, even if you run GTA San Andreas on your iPhone 10, it doesn't mean you will be able to play GTA 5 on your phone, and this is why Consoles and Computers are the main characters on the market. And it is more interesting to download a cool game on d2legit for your computer than to play Angry Birds on your smartphone.

Gaming is growing everyday tbh, even i who was never a fan of games started playing during the pandemic and I am now a fan of games. The only thing is that I don’t play games like other gamers since I don’t have a console. What I mostly do is visit https://www.friv5online.com/crazy-games and play my games there, then exit the page immediately I’m done. The only reason why I don’t want to buy a console is that I can’t sit for half a day playing games like people do. It’s actually too much, honestly.

If you're not connecting to a pre-configured server, you need to know the server address and port number. Some websites will display Minecraft servers in an "address: port" configuration (for example, "play.avengeth.me: 19132"). If that's the case, eliminate the colon from the address and use the number to the right of the colon as the port entry. And in general, be careful with unfamiliar servers on any site. Some of them can carry a virus. I use this site https://servers-minecraft.net to find cool servers with popular game modes such as Skyblock, Prison, Factions, Survival, SMP, Towny, etc. I advise you to look for something interesting for yourself.
