Seriously. Why even bother gaming on mobile.

I can wait until I get home and am at my desk to play games.

I don't want games anywhere else. No mobile, not in the livingroom, not even on a laptop. Nowhere else. At my proper desk on my proper desktop PC or not at all.

If mobile gaming were my only option, I just wouldn't play games at all.

Like seriously, whats the point of mobile gaming? It's just a lightweight dumbed down compromise, and I hate compromises.
