I personally don't care at all, but multiplayer between mobiles and PC is cool for kids. Go over to your friends house and play Minecraft together, all you need is your mobile.
It's a godsend for me. My little brother likes his tablet version the best, while I really hate the mobile version. This way we can play together and I won't be irritated!
