Maybe I'm just pedantic, but if it's on a phone or tablet, isn't it not "PC gaming"? I'm honestly a little confused what they're going for. I guess "mobile games of the graphical calibre expected of PC games"? But, like, Myst is a PC game. Monkey Island is a PC game. Thomas Was Alone is a PC game. There's a wide range there in graphics... And phones are mobile...

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.
