Do you ever think how weird it is that in modern days a form of art can appear, rise to glory, and then go extinct all in a time frame of just about a decade?

Java mobile games made that path in the span from early 2000s to early 2010s. By 2010, Java mobile game could have had graphics and gameplay comparable with 1990s console games, decent plot and great (adjusting for weak hardware ofc) music... Just a few years later, everyone forgot about them because of transition from keypad phones and Java to touchscreen phones and Android/iOS... And then that market niche was filled by sudokus, Candy Crushes, and hyper-casual ad-filled "games". That's honestly sad.
