I don't buy it solely because of "XCOM: Enemy Unknown"

Man, yeah, I didn't even notice that. Those guys were like "lololol never" when I asked if they'd ever port it to anything else. Kinda made me not want to pay anything for it, if I ever do play it.

I want to explain something about this. Porting your own games is like eating something you have already digested. It's dirty, it feels bad, it's undignified, and it tastes like a corrupted echo of past delight. Nobody should be surprised or offended when a small team or a solo developer doesn't want to port their game to some other platform.
(And in this case, it would be fruitless anyway, since Android users hardly pay for any games, and when they do they really don't pay $5 or more) |
Well, at first I asked if it ever might be ported to PC, since I feel like I'd rather experience it as a fullscreen point & click adventure than on a tiny iPhone/Android screen, but yeah, no.
I can understand why the thought of doing a port would be undesirable. Just felt like their response came off as, "HEH HEH WHAT ARE YOU STUPID?" Found it offputting. This is just how I feel, I guess, considering I don't understand why it wasn't just made for PC (I have a mouse) to begin with. Seems like they'd be more likely to reach a wider audience (more money) that way, too, but whatever.

That's true. About the metaphor of touch, I mean. Still, though, I think I'd have to play it on a bigger screen (and bugging my gf to let me play a game on her iPhone seems obnoxious). Maybe if I get an old iPad some day...
