I don't understand the new name. If the focus is on "premium, critically acclaimed PC and console titles", why have they added mobile in it?
I don't think you read the whole sentence: "The publisher will focus on bringing "premium, critically acclaimed PC and console titles" to mobile platforms."
Ooooooh. That explain it. I was so shocked by the first sentence that I didn't pay anough attention to the next one.
