Why I don't play mobile games on my smartphone

The fact that Blizzard is rereleasing Classic Wow this Summer should be a strong indicator of where modern games stand, even if it's in the MMORPG genre.

I rather interpret it as argument for "timelessness" of games. People still play 80s games, and it's not because 90s games are worse.

(However, Blizzard is degrading, and I find everything that they released after "original" WoW awful: SC2, Diablo 3, Overwatch, countless extensions for WoW, all of this look like developed by noname Chinese shop)

I think some of that is just nostalgia though - I mean it will be interesting to see how popular it is.

I started playing WoW when it first came out and stopped after a few months, but it seems bizarre to me that people would want to play an older version of the game presumably without all the modern fixes and QoL improvements.

What about the fact that Blizzard is releasing a mobile Diablo game? What kind of strong indicator is that?

Used to play Everquest back in the day. Reinstalled it this last winter in a fit of nostalgia, and was aghast at the graphics and interface/controls. Am I in a different universe?
