Does anyone else think it’s strange that g5 had console video games but g4 didn’t?

I’m aware that there were several mobile games for g4, but there were never any console games.

I believe I remember reading something that said GameLoft had exclusive rights to making G4 games, which is why there was pretty much only the one mobile game that was made for G4. Don't quote me on that though, I don't have any sources to back it up.

I've always been super disappointed that G4 didn't get a fully fledged video game, but I think it's understandable why we never got one. G4's height of popularity coincided pretty much exactly with microtransaction-heavy licensed mobile games becoming the norm, so I imagine at the corporate level the debate between "investing non-insignificant amounts of time and resources to make an actual console game" and "investing significantly less to make a mobile game supported by microtransactions we can update literally forever" was a painfully short one.

At least there's always fan games to turn to! It'll never be quite the same, of course, but it fills the void a bit!
