Another mobile game BS...

 

For PC: Remakes of long time old successes,

For mobile: New games.

 

Everybody has a phone, right?

 

But maybe I understood wrong and "mobile game" does not means "game on a phone".

The only place I see the word mobile is in the icy-veins post. On Blizz's site this is listed under:
