The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'

Tim Sweeney apparently thinks big budget games fail because... They aren't social enough? I personally feel that this is BS, but what do you guys think? Is there a trend to support his comments?

Yeah I don’t want to play anything that needs a control pad or keyboard on my phone, touchscreens are too small, fiddly and insensitive for that. So for the best experience I’m limited to the established phone game stuff since that’s all optimised for the control format.

When I’m at home and wanting to game, I’m on my PC or my console and never my phone, and I don’t really want anything that could be on a phone gameplay wise because those games suck compared to good console/pc games.

It’s not fucking rocket science is it?
