Think really hard about what the letters "PC" are for us... That's okay, we'll wait...

Hint, it's personal computer. A phone is technically a PC.

So, then there never was a difference and we always had PC gaming on mobile.

Edit: and maybe also on my router, TV and car, as all of them have a computer with an OS inside, and all of them I own, so it's my personal computer

What's the difference?

The only differences, if you didn't know, is/was the friends you made along the journey.
