I have stopped playing on my phone completely. If I was into Heartstone I would play it because it works great. Watching this video makes me want to give up on mobile completely. All my current ideas for games are made to work on tablets just as well as PC. But as he says, it's hard to reach a core audience on touch devices. And the pricing structure is way different compared to PC and consoles. RTA would be a completely different game if it wasn't designed to work on mobiles or cater to that type of player. I personally want to make core games, not dumbed down or casual games.

I can't recall his real name. But yes that's what he says. He's probably the most well known and respected PC game critic.

No problem

He has a few of these analyze videos and they are really good. He also do really good first impression videos called WTF is... for PC games and 15 Minutes of Game where he covers indie games. Also lots of Heartstone if you're into that. And sometimes news.

Not seen video yet but I've always been a skeptic of games on touch devices. I've developed my game with PC/Mac in mind only. I like a controller and a big screen!
