When the first smartphones debuted in the early 2000s, mobile gaming consisted of simplistic titles such as Snake, where the player leads a snakelike chain of pixels around the screen to eat other pixels and grow longer. Soon the market expanded into word games, like 2009â²s Words with Friends and three-in-a-row matching games like Candy Crush Saga in 2012, both primarily played by people whittling away time on public transportation or in a doctor s waiting room.
Today, over three billion people have smartphones and over two billion of them play games on those phones. Some of those mobile titles now even rival the quality of games traditionally enjoyed on consoles and expensive PCs.
