Even though the mobile market in the gaming industry has gained a lot of relevance and has made big companies take it more seriously in recent years, for many in the gaming community, you simply won't be a "gamer" if you play on mobile.
Therefore, perhaps many companies will take the mobile video game market and users seriously, but within the community, many will not consider you. And now, precisely, a controversy has just been unleashed around this since the famous esports team Dignitas echoed that prejudice and decided to make fun of people who play on mobile devices through a curious meme uploaded to its official account on Twitter. And not only that but also in the text head of the tweet, they added that mobile games are not games.
COMPETITIVE MOBILE COMMUNITY ANGRY OVER ESPORTS TEAM MEME
It is clear that if you attack a group of people, a response is to be expected, although in this case, it was a massive response as the post negatively drew a lot of attention. Many fans and professionals lashed out at the esports team's statements for disparaging players' efforts on mobile devices.
Since its inception in 2003, the Dignitas organization has won 18 esports world championships. Most of its squads participate in professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, Rocket League, and VALORANT competitions, according to the Essentially Sports portal. However, he also has a Crash Royale team under his wing.

Sonho, a professional Apex Legends Mobile player, responded with notable annoyance to the company's tweet. "I don't remember asking. Also, mobile gamers are legit," he said. On the other hand, the co-founder of Tribe Esports, Tribu Ferg, assured that he won “more tournaments in the last five years than his entire organization combined.”
However, the criticism and ridicule did not stop at all. Due to the poor reception from the community, the esports team based in New Jersey, United States, was forced to remove the publication. Shortly after, they shared the iconic meme of the person who puts on clown makeup to admit his mistake.
