But it's not as simple as connecting everything like Tinkertoys. "You put a prosthetic part on a human who is missing that part," Walker said. "We had no human; we built a human for the prosthetic parts to occupy."

Serious gaming I would call all competitive games with high skill cap. With competitions held and awards won. Scoreboard is not competition, and in game stuff is not award. I mean venues and money/hardware. Quake, Starcraft to name most popular. FIFA afaik enters that category. Thou I myself dislike all spot simulations, I respect that some people find 'em fun.
As a PC gamer master race I would consider serious gaming an epic RPG or strategy. Consoles got Skyrim, so there you go dirty peasants.

Mobile games come close to none of this categories mostly due to hardware limitation. And Apple with it's gaming history doesn't really sound promising.
