Tell me about it. I have to fight the urge to make snarky comments, given how ridiculous some of the comments here are. Amazed that people like to play games? Oh wow, god forbid people don't want to work or be productive 24/7...



I don't argue that games are a good way to kill some time (I play angry birds myself every so often) - what I find incredible is that people are making as much money as they are, selling games for these platforms. I don't know if any other class of apps are making as much money on these devices as games are - and that disturbs/disappoints me.


Games are appealing to about the widest possible audience. Everybody likes playing games, not everybody is productive in the same way, or works in the same way, etc.
