Progress, but at what price?

Owing to the rise in popularity of owning a smart phone and/or tablet, the rise in popularity of struggling development houses to prop up their shaky operations with quick and dirty, licensed cash-in software for said devices, and the rise in popularity of people with more money than sense that actually buy that crap, Japanese game media publishing giant, Enterbrain have started up Famitsu App. The website will collate the growing number of posts from their various other media sites that get tagged "iPhone" or "Android" at one convenient URL. Already the site has earned it's keep by pointing out that Systemsoft Alpha's girls-as-war-machines sim, Moe Moe 2-ji Taisen was recently ported over to iOS, (~$25!? Eff that!) and that SunSoft has released a bunch of Mahjong/Shanghai tile matching things on Android devices. (I guess that Telnet Japan acquisition worked out so well, eh?) The tiles in those sometimes feature classic SunSoft characters instead of the usual bamboo sticks or colored balls, like that rocket pack wearing guy from Galaxy Fight, or the tank from Blaster Master. Yes, this passes for news these days. And yes, I'm just a little bit bitter that the majority of headlines I click on Famitsu.com's game page now link to the App site.
