Without a commitment to UI scaling, the app will likely see continued churn among phone users who constitute the majority of the mobile market.
- The 11-month development gap since the last release suggests maintenance-only mode, which risks alienating players awaiting accessibility improvements.
- Faithful rule enforcement provides a strong foundation for retention if accessibility friction is resolved, as fans value the digital accuracy.
The SWOT
- Faithful digital enforcement of complex tabletop rules
- High replayability via Homeworld-Society combinations
- Implement zoom and font scaling to unlock phone segment
