I think that "destroyed" is not the right word. Yes, free to play games with in app purchases dominate the mobile market. For now. The mobile gaming is just 6 years old. We're in the 'Space Invaders' era. The quality of the top-grossing games is, how I shall put it, not great. I think eventually the quality will grow to a level where paying up front for a mobile game will not be the stupidest thing on the face of the Earth. |

Game developers have access to over thirty years of video gaming knowledge when designing a game. People have access to multi-platform SDKs, etc. Today, anyone with a computer can produce and publish a game.
When Space Invaders was around, this was not even remotely the case.
The expectations for quality on a 6 year old platform today should be much higher than it was in the 80s.
