Opinion: Most Japanese developers need to go to mobile gaming.

This is the absolute worst idea I have ever read on this site. The games are profitable due to how they are made, so there is no reason for such a stupid move to begin with. And yes, it is a stupid move. Most mobile gamers play in small sperts, but Japanese games are generally much larger and would perform worse than where they are now. Just because you may not like something does not mean it should go to mobile.

You can turn these big time console games into mobile games to make a lot of money. Look at fallout shelter. It didn't take too much to make fallout shelter and yet they made millions of dollars. Japanese publishers have to do something soon or they will go bankrupt. Just look at capcom.

 

The only reason Fallout Shelter made as much as it did was due to the hype of Fallout 4.  Nothing else.

 

Also have you played Fallout Shelter?  That is not a direction I want gaming to go at any point.  All you are doing is cherry picking a few devs who ran into problems and trying to apply their condition to all of them without even acknowledging the countless jap devs that are very healthy.

 

I mean seriously, maybe all European companies should go mobile as well because Lionhead got closed.  That is the logic this thread is applying after all.
