What is the source of this? I am really surprised that mobile gaming already surpassed PC. But with Asians dominating the gaming market, you really dont know where is gonna turn next.

, that's why olympic commetee is going to add e-sports to olympionic games, I dont think they'll add mobile games at allNot yet, but mobile gaming is getting a bigger and bigger market, especially in Asia currently. Most of the really great Japanese mobile games don't get even exported to Europe or America because the base is not there currently, like it was the problem for the NES and SNES long ago, but especially here in Asia you can find a lot of people already prefere mobile games over consoles or PC. But of course, for competitions it's still not in the same class at all.
I really don't like mobile gaming but market is growing that way. And the game producers are very happy for this. They are spending tens of millions for a game and people may not like it. But for the most mobile games it cost only couple of thousands and with pay 2 play they are having enormous profits.
Doesn't matter if you like a market or not, as long as there's money in it
That's true and counts for so many markets, not only gaming. As long as you can make money with it, people will make money with it.
And people will create new stuff on that platform, so it will be kept up to date
