>Unfortunately, and I hope this is not your experience, the way I understand the state of affairs in gaming in general is that if it's not as gorgeous as Mass Effect or as addictive as Candy Crush you're not likely to see many people caring.

This is only true for games on mobile platforms. The Skinner box horseshit you find in the App Store and on Google Play, will not translate into success on PC or console, because people who play games on PC or console actually want good games and are willing to pay for them.

Basically, don't make games for mobile, is my takeaway. Or, at least, don't target that platform exclusively or even primarily.
