After Netflix pulled the rug from under Monument Valley 3 six months after launch, its developer says it's a 'PC first' studio: 'we can build more direct relationships with our audience and community'

Monument Valley was an award-winning phenomenon on mobile back in 2014 that made its way to PC eventually, as did its sequels and several other games by its developer, Ustwo. That studio has now apparently moved on from mobile-first development, as CEO Maria Sayans recently told Mobile Gamer.

"What has changed more recently is shifting our focus to 'PC first' in our future titles," Sayans said, "rather than mobile first. This stems from a realisation that there is a ceiling to how much you can do on PC and console when you are perceived as a mobile-first game, and that you make compromises both in product design and go-to-market strategies when mobile is your lead platform."
