I am no fan of smartphones either. I am not saying that I want a future version of the Pokéwalker to be an app. I am saying I think it is inevitable that it will be.

I avoided smartphone games for many years for similar reasons. And I stopped attending Tokyo Game Show in part because it became so smartphone focused.

But not all games are gatcha Skinner boxes. There are a lot of them, but some are decent games in their own right.

the phrase is ‘pay to win’ or p2w for short

It’s a great term that describes that a game includes so many micro transactions that the basic free to play feels ‘locked down’

Or you have to pay to win

That’s the problem with mobile games

The "pow" word… Sorry, it affects me. >.< =/ Let's pretend that was "potent" instead, for same meaning.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Are you objecting to the claim that Smartphones have greater processing capacity than the home consoles of the time of the DS?

Or are you saying that the word itself is a problem somehow?
