It's frustrating indeed!
 
I bet, Sony is ramping up mobile game investments because mobile games are generally less expensive to make compared to triple A PC and console games, but mobile games could earn a lot of money like Flappy Birds, and Angry Birds, from ads and in-game purchases.
 
Now for the wrath of 1000 suns to whoever thought this was a good idea. If it's on mobile I'm not playing your games.
 
Cant wait for the endless runners to pop up all over the place.
