Ok but where have the good phone games gone. I'm horrified watching a 10 year old or so relative playing games on his phone only to spend 90% of the time watching unskippable ads.

There were never any good phone games. That past of the industry was immediately filled with micro transactions and gambling esque mechanics.

The first angry birds had no microtransactions at all. Nor did the first plants vs zombies. They were good phone games imo

They were derivative of things that had existed on other platforms for years. They never really found their own strengths before they were overrun by cash grabs that all look the same
