I'm a solo developer from Brazil and I'm trying to decide where to focus my next projects.

My goal is not just to launch a game, but to build a sustainable business that can scale over time.

For developers who have experience with both platforms:

• Which has provided the best return on investment (ROI)?
• Which is easier to grow with a small team?
• Which requires less marketing budget to get traction?
• If you were starting from scratch today, would you choose Mobile or Steam/Desktop?
• What are the biggest challenges that most beginners underestimate?

I'm especially interested in real-world experiences, numbers, postmortems, and lessons learned rather than theory.

Thanks!
