Turns out ads are the way most mobile videogames make money not whales.

46% of mobile game revenue comes from in game advertising.
But games generally don't have ads
Have you been living under a massive rock.
Legit have you played any mobile game that isn’t Japanese/Chinese/Korean.
No
Lmao, you are missing on a lot of kino like My Little Universe.
>have you played any mobile game that isn’t Japanese/Chinese/Korean
For what fricking purpose? The only reason I'm playing mobileshit in the first place is because there aren't enough anime games with cute girls.
That's bad when advertising homosexuals control what's allowed in games
Most of the time it’s doesn’t have much of an effect as most mobile games are inoffensive and are mainly just an endless grind, and minimalist graphics.
The only way I can see this effecting the design of games is with gatcha games that rely on sex appeal.
what mobile games dont have ads?
Nintendo games.
Tons of then. We had multiple threads for those.
Less than 100, and probably only 10 of them are good out of 500000+ games.
>what mobile games dont have ads?
The best games? Genshin doesn't have any ads. If i download your game and i get an add for some random shit i'm uninstalling instantly.
Who the frick even conducted that study? what were their parameters? what games were part of the selection? Freemium "come play my lord" type shit? And then extrapolating from a handful of shite to the whole mobile industry? Get the frick out.

Genshin isn't a good game you fat frick.
I played it, the characters look like hookers, but it's marketed towards kids.
The voice acting is stupid and the open world is blender than a sock and the colours are oversatuurated. The enemies are bland and the combat is mediocre
Come on man

Why are you crying
Makes sense. There's only so much you can squeeze out of this small percentage of idiots who dump hundreds or thousands of dollars into their jpeg collectors before they get into debt and kts.
Top downloaded f2p shitware have millions of freetards watch ads this very second, who think they are so clever for unlocking everything through grind without paying a dime. The revenues must be ridiculous, at the least enough to let their devs afford to have their crap come up on top of every google search forever.
I completely forgot normie mobile games exist.
If the data is complete and true, I wonder how much % do Asian gacha games hold in the worldwide market.
>I wonder how much % do Asian gacha games hold in the worldwide market.
59% in 2020
Pretty much every big anime game doesn't have ads.
the OP article is just trash based on western games/releases only
It's not, the report is from apjoe, a statistica partner.
