I’m about to show you why Apple is the most valued company in the world. Here we have Internet Guy explaining everything Apple needs to do to be serious about gaming. It’s fairly PC / console based perspective and leans very hard on AAA titles. Okay. Got it. That’s a point of view.
Meanwhile, Apple is already earning more money on gaming than Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, or Activision - combined (source). Apple doesn’t care at. all. about what Internet Guy has to say, doesn’t care if anyone says it’s “just” mobile games, or “just” because of the iPhone. They laugh all the way to the bank and back again. They aren’t Internet Guy’s favorite and never will be, but they win the revenue game and gaming is just one tiny part of what they do. This is why they’ve become so insanely rich. They’re very very successful at the business they’re in and don’t GAF about anyone else’s perceptions.
So…let’s maybe say they are already serious and might become even more serious with upcoming products.
The article (and me) is obviously talking about triple A/"console quality" games. I'm well aware that they make a lot of money selling in-app purchases in repetitive puzzle games.
