• While new game downloads plateaued in 2024, in-app purchases grew 3.8 percent compared to 2023.
  • The game that drew in the highest revenue based on in-app purchases for 2024 was Monopoly Go.
  • However, Tencent continues to dominate the mobile gaming space with the company drawing in over $10 billion in revenue from mobile games.

      Rolls? FOMO on stickers, shields, “player”?

      I played it as full f2p player and joined their discord once (don’t ask me why) there were literal scams of people posting their (?) Lockscreen with the messages app from iPhone with someone sending them SMS with “You received 1 million dices” or BS like that. Tried to report a few of them but never got an answer so… Guess how

        Ah yes the age old economic practice of creating an extortion racket against an audience of what I’d assume are mostly kids

        The markets are never wrong, lemming!

          It gave me cancer seeing their discord. Full of scams of people selling a PNG for money or dice/sticker scams with obvious fake screens if you look at them for more than 0.3s
