The mobile gaming trend is terrible. Even some of the nicer game apps (like "two dots") are becoming blatant Skinner box slot machines. The sole purpose of the mechanics and design is to draw you in, keep you coming back, and subtly suggest endless creative ways of "paying to win". It's disgusting.

I know they are between and a rock and a hard place in terms of actually making any money, but I honestly would rather have zero mobile games than the current adversarial and manipulative ones.
