Mo bile mo problems

See, I don't get this right here all of a sudden.  SE said not too long ago that they were going to push console games.  Then this other article shows up about how they will shift to mobile games or something. 

The problem with that article and this sentiment obviously is of course that they have a shit load of console games coming out.  Probably more hyped titles than anyone currently, both from their direct development side and otherwise: FFXV, KH3, Star Ocean 5, Dissidia PS4/X1, Deus Ex MD, Just Cause 3, the new Tomb Raider and I think a few others.

Then of course there's Bravely Default 2 and I'm sure many other handheld titles to come as well as the occassional remaster people asked or didn't ask for, but are still there for anyone to take or leave.

I can understand the mass exodus of many big name developers from these companies.

Those guys actually want to make epic games. But these companies just want to make microtransaction delivery platforms. Clearly the best option is to break yourself away as far as possible from these companies, like Kojima did.

Just take a look beside you. Square Enix started pushing fully into mobile like 4-5 years ago. Take a look at 2015, they are back into making console games (FF14, FF15, KH3, DQ Heroes, Thief series, Hitman series, Tomb Raider series, Deus Ex series) Obviously, if mobile has worked for Square, they wouldnt be making so many console games, right? Resource is finite.

This is disappointing. I actually liked konami and really enjoyed lord of shadows.

The picture this is painting for the industry is also concerning to say the least.

As much as I hate their transition (and that of Square-Enix, Capcom, SEGA, etc...) into the mobile market who can really blame them? These developers flourished on PlayStation, a brand which has declined sharply in Japan. What's the alternative for them, 3DS and WiiU? As much as I hate the thought, I can not see any other options for them. That being said, I still hate how they are handling their development teams and intellectual properties as well as their outright contempt for their customers.

Another Japanese dev falls to the darkside. I just hope Nintendo still focus on console games and never go fully into mobile gaming.

Mobile gaming can never be taken as a serious gaming future in my opinion because you can't get a console-like game experience on a mobile app/game (or at least not that i'm aware of). Most of them are just endless runners or mainly the same thing/copies of other games. I can't see myself playing a mobile game for hours straight like I could a console game, maybe that's just me though. 

I understand that games like GTA have been ported to mobile, but those are just games that were ported, not build from the ground up for a mobile. Plus, is a developer really going to take the effort to actually develop a very well made game and put those resources into it? Or are most of them just going to make a cheap game to develop for mobile and get profits off of that. 

Well... Poop...

In other words, Konami = dead (for me). I just wish they'd treat MGS with respect and not try to milk it in the mobile world, but it seems Konami lacks that decency. MGS was and to an extent is a fine franchise with deeper messages that are not suited for the mobile market, but Konami doesn't seem to care.

I'm sure it's good for the industry but it's not good for gamers. Well I suppose it's good for casual gamers but that's about it.
