>> The mobile gaming is just 6 years old. We're in the 'Space Invaders' era.

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.
