If they won't be able to support iOS, they can just launch their own "store" for Android. Similar to Amazon's. Though I'm half surprised Steam hasn't done this.

I do question the justification of the 30% cut they all seem to take.

Another "store" is fine. But another device is a very doubtful prospect.

From what I see, the resilience of the PC through the years only shows that people want less consoles, not more.

Yet most studios rather target consoles, because of the consistent hardware.

As for PC resilience, there are hardly any desktops left at most consumer stores, just tablets, 2-1 laptop hybrids and laptops that are either Windows or Mac, both of which are a hit-and-miss for anything else other that the OS version that the vendor shipped with the laptop.

Valve introduced Steam machines and those flopped.

I mean, I'm surprised they haven't created their own side-loaded android platform store.
