On a rainy Saturday, I found myself scrolling through my phone, hoping for a quick distraction. The apps that used to pop up—news, weather, a few games—were all the same. Suddenly, a new title appeared, promising a storyline, multiplayer battles, and a leaderboard that updated every minute. That was the moment I realised mobile gaming had slipped into the fabric of everyday entertainment, and it was doing more than just filling downtime.
