Exactly. It's good to get someone from MF coming in here and tell us what's going on.

On the bright side, it does seem like the new version will be much better. I just hope I can also play it on my laptop. I don't want to buy a tablet just to play Dominion.

All of my experience with stuff done in Unity is that it works most easily on non-mobile OS, then gets ported to mobile (see: Hearthstone).

If they had started with a mobile app, then mobile-only might have been a viable marketing strategy.
But you can't start with (essentially) a desktop-based implementation, then dump support for desktops to focus on mobile-only.
At least not without losing a huge chunk of whatever market you've already established.

Personally, if they can make a version that works well on Android, I will play online a whole lot more than I currently do.

There is zero talk of not supporting computers.

Sorry, I didn't mean for that comment to sound like a complaint.
I was trying to reiterate that there's no way they would dump support for desktop, because it would be suicidal.
On the other hand, a native mobile app would be a huge win, IMO.

And I would argue that, oh never mind.

So I play mostly casual games with a friend from university who's currently working in China - except I usually don't, because MF fails to load a game for him about half the time and it takes about 4+ minutes to load a game when it does succeed. Conversely, I load the game almost instantly

Does anyone know why this kind of problem occurs? It happens regardless if my friend is on VPN, so the Great Firewall doesn't seem to be the problem.

China probably has worse routers and stuff. Have you seen their cheap knockoffs of our products and cars?

He doesn't have problem loading random webpages, it's just MF that's being an MF...

Sarcasm.
