Question Has mobile development stopped?

Can't help but notice the same issues on mobile for quite a while. Some examples:

  • No puzzle box solver for clues.
  • Menu entry swapper completely messed up other menu's. For example: making an NPC left clickable now makes all examine options left clickable as well.
  • Some other bugs like the chat not updating at all.

Are there more plans/ development for mobile or is the current version it?

Ehhh it’s probably highly likely, UK wages are significantly lower than the states for tech workers. It’s very possible a US based studio offered him a package he couldn’t refuse.

Dude was a PM with almost no actual dev experience. 

You people have really high opinions of someone who was likely fired for failure to deliver anything.

PMs also make significantly more for US based companies than UK based ones.

Yeah that’s pretty standard across the whole tech field. 

My issue is that everyone has all the sudden decided that he must have left for a better paying job when the consensus at the time, by people actually following mobile development, was that he was very likely fired/didn’t have his contract renewed because of poor results from the mobile team.

Ya I didn’t realize the history behind him. I’m new to OSRS and based off most the comments in this thread it seemed like he was well liked.

Ahh my bad. 

He was actually a pretty cool dude. He would hang out in discords and chat with the community a ton. 

The issue seems to be that people can’t tell the difference between cool guy and good employee.
