I have to disagree on your statement to AoE Mobile. I used to say also let ppl do what they want, as long as it doesn't impact you. But it won't be just another game and/or source of income. If it turns out to be profitable, maybe even exceedingly (usually thx to the asian market), they will shift their focus from the main series to the mobile one. Depending on what it will introduce in terms of both monetisation or other systems and features and depending how good it's going to be received by the mobile player base, it most likely will even influence the main game series as well, assuming they do another one after a big success. We have seen it time and time again, so it's also not just speculation and/or pessimism. Just look at what happened to C&C and the mobile version was received even poorly (at least here, don't know how it is in the asia). I mean the success of MOBAs is the main reason why RTS games almost died and it came from a mod for an RTS game aka WC3 (how ironic). This is not only about mobile games either. Games in general aren't made in a bubble. If something succeeds, especially a new and/or more profitable way of monetisation, sooner or later others will try to copy it and it will influence something you use or like and thereby impact you as well. We saw it with Overwatch popularizing loot boxes or Fortnite popularizing Battle passes and all the other things we have now like DLCs, preorder boni, MTX and so on.
