A game, for mobile without a doubt, since it has more monetization options unlike Steam where you only have to purchase, plus you have to promote your game a lot to recover profits, if you are a developer that is starting out the best way is On mobile, I am a developer and publicist in case you like my services.

Why Not Both. I have seen many mobile games on steam.

Mobile games in 2023 dominated 60% of the gaming market's profits, in addition, if you upload a game to the Play Store you have the advantage of having adsense with an advertising of $100 dollars, you will have fixed casual users, and various monetization options, upload it Steam is a waste of money if you are new and don't have a name for yourself, it is very different for a YouTuber to upload a game than for a nobody to upload it to Steam, PC games are difficult to attract users due to the difficult access, A user has to download Steam, the mobile ones no longer have the store integrated, apart from the fact that everyone has a phone in their hand.

your skills are kinda important here. it sounds like you are basically starting from scratch, which is going to make it hard for you to get started and make money from it
there's no 'best' engine for mobile games really, it's a subjective take. pick the engine you can learn the most easily and work with that

I don't know which is easier to create or market but I think mobile would be a lot more difficult to pirate than PC games. Also, do you have what it takes to build a really good game that's able to rival othrr games on steam? Do you have the financials to carry such a project? Maybe you do.
I think it'll be much better to do that for mobile.

Personal choice Unity seems easier to me + monetization option
I have got other problem. I am learning Unity and C#, because I will be making apps and mobile games for Android and iOS. So I need to know which back end programming language to choose. I am interested only in cross platform programming language. Kotlin, Dart or C# MAUI, or maybe other option? What you recommend?
