Hi all, here's a hypothesis on the psychology behind the growth of mobile gaming versus other platforms. Obviously, a big part of the growth is due to the install base of the platforms, but perhaps there's some psychology behind it as well. Console and PC gaming require scheduled time and intent to solve the need to escape while mobile gaming is a distraction and the action is much simpler, just open an app whenever you're bored. What do you think?
