For as much as companies like Rockstar have ported across GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, and Sega did the same with Sonic, together they form only 6% of all games played on mobile.

I'm totally blaming touch controls (because seriously, f**k touch controls for anything other than basic swipes and taps), as that would seem to factor into the ESA's findings, being 38% of all mobile titles fall into the "Puzzle/Board Game/Card Game/Game Shows" category.

As for the remaining amount, well... what would you classify half the money-grubbing toss that's available?
