Mobile Gaming

New PC games often require fairly high-end graphics cards in order to play at high settings, and every year the envelope gets pushed further and further. You simply can't play many games at acceptable settings with integrated graphics or low-end cards, forcing serious gamers to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade to an extremely powerful high-margin GPU. But right now the mobile gaming world is different. Basically any game downloaded on an Android device can be played, regardless of the underlying hardware. The best part about mobile gaming is that mobile applications lead the market instead of the hardware that is usually associated with PC gaming. More people are able to play, no matter the level. Also with mobile gaming, the people are not tethered in a certain place. This is of course not to say that PC gaming is going anywhere anytime soon. The bottom line is that it comes down to the actual game and if it is good, there will be players.
