But if you're saying that mobile gaming isn't real gaming when in my lifetime LCD games and tomogotchi were a thing? You're a straight up fool worthy of public mockery. Even half assed mobile titles at this point are exponentially more advanced than things I'd paid for on cartridge back in the og Gameboy era.

it's not about technology of the hardware, it's about design of the software.

Is the software a "game", or a vehicle designed specifically to milk more money out of you, posing as a game?

That's a bad angle to take honestly. You could point at FIFA, Madden, any number of F2P console games, and a whole mess of others, and make the same comparison. Hell there are even ports of actual mobile games on PS4 and Steam.

Meanwhile there are games like Baldur's Gate, every mainline Final Fantasy through 7, a bunch of Dragon Quest titles, and many many others available on mobile.

I think your argument might be that "F2P, or gacha, games are not real games" not the blanket statement that "mobile games are not real games".
