When I said "solo dev" I didn't mean independent studio.
Out of the examples Minecraft Classic is the only thing that looks to qualify. IOS and Android Minecraft was developed by a studio not Persson...... The JVM game lib used in Classic wasn't ported to Dalvik and ART builds either..
People buying PureBASIC, SpiderBASIC, or launching ideas using Xcode and Android Studio or one of the frameworks like Unity or Unreal or Xamarin likely at best have some friends willing to help and likely don't work in a AAA studio.
I've had to do IOS and Android games in six month windows with no team. There is a reason most announced bedroom-programmer 3D games since the nineties have ended up vaporware..
