Oh boy, millions of ad-ridden, pay-to-win, copy-pasted virtual casinos, right from the convenience of my PC. Gotta get me one of those beta invites!
Source, played MapleStory alot in the past.
Is there a way to jailbreak this to run arbitrary apps?

They are popular in developing countries where people cannot afford PC or a console. https://android.stackexchange.com/que…
> How is this different from the Google Play Games mobile app? The Google Play Games mobile app is primarily focused on the instant games experience where you can jump right into casual games. We’ll have more announcements for the mobile app in the near future. Going forward, “Google Play Games” will refer to the PC experience where you can enjoy your favorite Android games.

Millions of bad games do not make the few good games bad. You could use the same argument against Steam.
You know full well Steam's library is not at all comparable to what's available on mobile. There are thousands of quality games on Steam. How many mobile games are out there that are quality crafted experiences, and not just endless grinding to squeeze as much money as possible out of the user?

False equivalence. The scale of the problem is not even remotely close.
I don’t get why gamers get into this tribal mentality of only one good thing may exist.
You can already do this on PC using the Windows Subsystem for Android. The major issue surrounding WSA was that it was too technical to setup for most PC users so we built an app for our non-technical users to solve this. Right now, Google building a standalone app for only Android games (people use Android apps fairly on par with games on PC) and then insisting on a slow rollout will most likely make the product go…

Anyone know if there's a curated list of non-exploitative games on android? The only one I've been seriously thinking about buying is Slay the Spire.

I like that many of them are "just" PC port
Mobile games are just amazingly bad. I didn't even like Monument Valley. The art style doesn't do it for me, and there isn't much else that one could like about it.
