Poor performance means 'game over' for mobile gaming apps

Gamers once faced the stereotype as nerds who spend all their time surrounded only by the darkness of a basement and the soft green glow of an Xbox. Now, those old characturers have faded away as gaming has gone mainstream thanks in large part to mobile devices.

Mobile gaming is already the fastest growing segment of the gaming industry, expected to generate $33 billion in revenue by 2017, up from $16 billion in 2013 and just $4 billion in 2011. Seemingly, only one thing can derail the popularity of mobile gaming – poor mobile app performance.
