I'M A NAVAL ENTHUSIAST ALL THESE YEARS. LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING THESE GAMES. NOW WE'RE BEING BRUSHED AWAY TO A MORE MONEY MAKING SCHEME RATHER THAN FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
It's a game that's designed specifically with tablets/phones in mind for interface and gameplay. I don't think it'd be a particularly great game on the PC - it's designed to be relatively simple and fun for short sessions, not for long immersive play that you'd expect on the PC. I think it's much better where it is - no reason to invite comparisons that wouldn't be in its favour. It's the same as trying to take a board game or a card game and put it on the PC - it might be a lot of fun at the table with friends, but not so much on the PC, where you'd probably expect more of a simulation and complain that it doesn't compare well to what you know.

And money-wise, hardly a big scheme where it costs pennies compared to either PC or board games.
