!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It kinda sucks that my favorite format, handheld is so low compared with the other hardware (yeah, I'm not considering mobile as handheld lol).
There were paid mobile games in 1995? Only game I knew of was snake, and that was free 🤔 The webpage doesn't shed any light on that.

I suppose you could argue that pre-installed games still counts as part of the market. Not sure how you'd could the value though. Like a small part of the phone cost?
Otherwise the earliest store/system seems to be i-mode in 1999.
