On the contrary. If you care about the intersection of gaming and mobile, you are almost certainly using an iOS device.

Every single one of the hardcore gamers that I know is dismissive of mobile games, at best.

The intersection of the set of "intersection of gaming and mobile" and the set of "hardcore gamers" is small.

I know a few of them, they are all game developers.

Plenty of overlap. Ipad stream-gaming on the couch while the wife watches TV, for example.

Yes yes and yes.

So now it is totally possible, you just must avoid iPads (face palm)

Essentialy Apple want force me buy some android tablet, smart move...

As someone who loves his iPad, this makes me sad. It’s not enough for me to abandon it but it’ll definitely make the upgrade decision tougher when the time comes.

Does iPad even support Xbox1/PS4/steam controllers? Last time I checked, at least PS4 gamepads did not work on ios. Without those (certainly Xbox and PS4 ones), I’m not sure I’d want to stream games onto an iPad anyway (not that this makes it better, if anything it makes it worse).

We're talking about iOS, not OSX. There's a huge overlap.
