Whales. One customer willing to spend a thousand dollars is more valuable than a thousand customers who'll maybe pay a dollar if you're lucky.
Chris-Chan comes to mind.
There are some seriously legit Android titles, however they are extremely few and far between compared to other platform. It'd not last too long. I'm talking little-to-no microtransactions and games like 'The room' series, Oxenfree, Waking mars, GTA, Little Inferno, or smaller games like 'I love hue', general puzzle titles
Mass market. Everyone with a mobile phone who gets bored has a chance of browsing mobile games.
Even then, many games don't turn profit, while few top percentiles rake in millions in revenue.
It is a very competitive market that manipulate and compete for the attention (and wallet) of mostly non-gaming-enthusiasts.
Mobile game ads are fucking horrid. One of the games I play lets you skip some stuff for a small 30 second ad, and sadly it's incredibly cost/time effective, so I just press it and toss the phone for a bit, but sometimes I see a little of it and my god the ads are so low effort.
Whoa, a dragon! Let's hope these skills I leveled up are enough to beat him! Epic loot!
Joerg Sprave's channel has gone seriously downhill because of this. Feels like almost every video is sponsored by some shitty unoriginal microtransaction-infested mobile cashgrab. So he's just standing there like he's being held at gunpoint and explaining how he's really enjoying this game and it's oh so fun for several minutes. Just 20 seconds of listening to that crap is a total turn off, I don't even feel like watching the actual video at that point anymore, no matter how good it may be. Not to mention he's making a bunch of forced content with sponsorship tie-ins just to deliver even more ads. Most of the time I don't even want to click on his videos anymore. They better be paying him some serious fucking money cause it wouldn't be easy to get me to debase myself like that.
There's probably a billion or so people in developing countries who newly have a smart phone with internet. They aren't as picky about quality as we and F2P is appealing due to no entry cost.
CarThrottle had their last video sponsored by World of Battleships or something, Alex looked so out of place in the segment
