ELI5: Why do mobile games have such a boom in popularity and then inevitably become abandoned in a relatively short period of time?
gpt
Mobile games are new and fun for a while, but the problem is there is no depth  to hold the user's attention for a long period.  Take flappy bird as an example.  There is a certain challenge to get a high score and then keep beating it.  That's all there is to it, nothing more to do when you get a one of a kind score.  Eventually, this will become stale, repetitive and boring and you want something new to hold your attention.
