 nostr:npub1p553zekrhumq4dqcytp795r5qm0346swlrv4nhdg7mt4lxs3ez7s2p8lyq I read an article recently (we've I've been unable to find right now) that suggested while some people would like to use their powerful pocket computer to play sophisticated games, the bulk of mobile phone users just want something to distract them for 5 minutes while waiting for the bus.

There are exceptions (Mario Kart is on mobile. Diablo too) I think the market has been ultimately shaped by the low-cost, time wasters.
