Would Android and IOS replace playing on pet site?

[Ja sa bong]

There are so many Pet site games which are coming out on the android and IOS platform very often. If so many of the players take to playing more using the Android and IOS platform, do you think it's literally going to cut down the longevity of Pet sites?

do you think it's literally going to cut down the longevity of pet sites?

I honestly think that phone games going to hurt video games across the board. Especially since the phone games are getting more and more complex. Also, they are starting to release AAA games on the phone as well.

If pet sites adapt with a mobile friendly version. I don't think so.

I think pet site owners should consider adding mobile/responsive themes to their sites.

 

[Shortie]

This is a good question. At the moment pet sites have the upper hand whilst mobile is catching up but it will not be long before we see mobile games come level with pet sites.

If pet sites can adapt and make their sites mobile-friendly, they stand a chance of sticking around longer and not being replaced.

I slightly disagree as there are a couple of gamers that will never play on a mobile. It is either they play on the TV or PC or they don't play at all.

I honestly don’t think so. A lot of kids play mobile games as they’re a lot simplier and have a lot less features than regular browser based pet games. There’s also more mobile pet games than browser based pet games because they’re all trying to attract the younger crowd than the older. I don’t see regular pet sites going anywhere as they’ve been around since 1997 and they continue to flourish through the times. Also, mobile pet games are released a lot faster because they’re not so complexed and feature rich than browser based pet sites.

However, I do see the mobile based games driving more users to regular pet sites for those seeking more complexed style pet games.

I kinda agree with your assessment looking at how things are done differently in terms of features and design that comes in both games. But should the mobile pet game's developer's become more innovative, it's going rival pet site games very well.

In today's world, when mobile devices have become an essential component of our lives, it is vital that pet websites be mobile-friendly. With an increasing number of people preferring to play on their smartphones or tablets, pet sites must tailor their interfaces to appeal to this demographic. Not everyone can afford to buy a high-end PC or laptop, so having a mobile-friendly website will boost accessibility and make sure pet lovers can interact with their favorite pet websites easily.

Totally agree with you. More than 60% of players use their smartphone more than they use PC or laptop very often. It's why making a pet site to be mobile friendly is essential to keeping the players still using it.

This is very true. Gaming audience have tripled on the mobile platform which forced game developers to give attention to mobile games. Although, I still see so much longevity in pet site games too.

Most likely, the more sites the more people get spread out and then get lost when the site goes under.

It's why I love pet sites like Neopets. They have a long term project they're working with. The ensures they won't wake up one day and go under.

It's why I don't blame anyone who doesn't play just about any pet site games they come across because of the possibility of having all their efforts flushed down the drain with the site not lasting long.

Yep, there will always be diehard console or PC players. But there are way more mobile players there are console and PC gamers combined. Google said that there are 3 billion mobile gamers. I think pet sites should try tapping into the mobile market.

It's going to be in their own best interest to tap into the mobile market because it's a guaranteed pool where they're surely to get more players always.

That means mobile users of pet sites are increasing. I never had a look at that in the past anyways.

Eeeeh, that risk is always there. But good site mangers reduce the risk.

There's always risk in everything. What gives you a strong backing is the kind of plan that you have for the project that you're working on.

 

[Ja sa bong]

True. It is just the same thing like running and managing a general forum. Whenever you are not good with managing the forum, it is always going to end up being relegated into the background and abandoned.

 

[Ja sa bong]

It is exactly what the statistics are showing right now and if this keeps going this way, if pet sites doesn't improve on how creative and innovative they are, it is going to affect them badly.

 

[twinkletalon]

There's of course the competition here between mobile site users and desktop ones. But I think another important distinction is between mobile app and mobile website development. A lot of the statistics that get thrown around about mobile gamers nowadays relies on app download numbers to prove their viability. Whereas on a site-based pet sim there's less of a continuous external tracker. So I'm not too sure if the intended audience between a pet sim website is the same as one driven for a pet sim app. Of course there's probably a ton of overlap regardless.

 

[Elseb]

I definitely think part of the reason for Neopets downfall was the rise of Mobile Gaming and the creators not reacting well enough to the changing market.

Generally, if users care so much about this continuous external tracking of what they do with apps they have installed, millions of people wouldn't be downloading apps as they're listed on Google Play Store or Apple store.

The portability of smartphone and how sophisticated they are built recently is one of the reason why most people now find it more efficient to make use of it instead of getting a laptop or PC.

That's my mistake for not clarifying my statement! What I meant by external tracker is just that developers would have that data more readily available, not that users themselves would care about the data.Tbh I doubt many would care, like you said lol.

That's the difference that I was trying to point out. Different types of people will search for a new pet sim to play from a mobile browser versus going straight to the app store.

I get you well now mate. Thank you for taking the time to make things more clear. You're awesome.

I agree, however, I also feel that Neopets’ downfall was caused by the lack of user support and the fact that it changed ownership so many times over the years. Some of the companies that owned Neopets failed to actually update the game and they wanted to change the very foundation that made Neopets popular.

For example, Jumpstart wanted to remake the classic Neopets game and turn it into a metaverse. This project was meant with a lot backflash and Neopets’ users weren’t pleased with it. It received a $4 million investment after previously selling $2 million worth of NFT’s.

They’re working on a new mobile game, Tales of Dacardia though. It recently just went into beta testing.

I know that one way or another, Neopets will find a way to break into the mobile game's stream because it's completely unavoidable now if you really want your project to keep up with the trend and the ever changing taste of gamers.

You’re absolutely right. They’ve already released one mobile app game and they’re working on releasing another mobile app. I’d say that this approach will help them reach the younger crowd and drive in new users for them.

That's the point. No pet set wants to be left behind. They follow the trend as it goes. Targeting the younger generation is a giant move because of the inclusiveness, and it will further enhance the game's popularity too.
