There is a difference between mobile games and non-mobile games, but in the same sense that there’s a difference between console games and handheld games. Obviously theres gonna be a dip in quality on a technical level, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the games are worse than AAA console titles.
That being said, I do think that theres some real divide between mobile gamers and console/pc gamers. The fact of the matter is that with a few exceptions, mobile games are specifically tailored to be less intricately designed experiences, and thats fine. Console titles simply don’t work on mobile. How many times have you seen Capcom or Sega try to port Mega Man or Sonic to mobile only for it to suck? I mean sure there are a few exceptions, the first three Layton games are on mobile and are easily the definitive versionsthat you should all go download right now and play to support Level-5 and their best series but those are few and far between. The best games are always the ones that are tailored to the system they’re on, and that means that the best mobile games are always going to be those junk food, pick up and play type games. This doesnt mean that anyone who plays one over the other is less of a gamer, just someone who prefers a specific breed of gaming to another.
