I tested the Age of Empires Mobile beta, and it's a worthless adaptation

MODERATORS
It's honestly shocking. They went for a decade with heaps of trashy mobile games advertising using stolen AoE art assets. When they finally announced a mobile game, I assumed it was because they thought they had cracked how to do a good mobile game that would do justice to their franchise. I guess the reality was more "oh, look how many companies are making lots of money ripping off our IP. We could rip off our own IP and make all that money!"
There's always Xcom - the shining example of what a mobile port could be.
I wish other companies would see that and go "yeah, that's doable"
Instead, this crap happens.
