Interesting that the post in my feed after this one indicated the Monopoly Go was the most profitable game of 2024. Mobile gaming is just multiple sets of almost entirely separate cultures from each other and other gaming spaces.
I feel like any MMO is like that. A significant number of players focus on that game above playing any other, so those gaming communities become insular.
I’ve heard a few of them mentioned as guilty pleasures and/or something someone gets hooked on for a short time. In my anecdotal experience, have never seen someone pay for anything in them but apparently they’re still making bank!
Am I crazy or has nobody heard of these? Either way, this sale isn’t a bad thing. Niantic was not a good steward of the Pokemon IP
Both are incredibly popular mobile games which represent everything wrong with mobile gaming.
Ah ok, so it’s just my not paying attention to the space. Sounds like PoGo will just continue to be a whale wealth extractor then?
Yup, if not worse.

I’ve never met or heard from anyone that actually plays it, but they must be out there since it’s grossing huge sums of money.
I’ve played Stumble Guys cause there’s a PC port on steam for free.
It’s basically a knockoff of Fall Guys, if that wasn’t obvious. It’s not awful though, it could be a fun time-waster.

$112 million dollars in profit (profit, not revenue) for Monopoly Go, and got state that no-one’s heard about it?
It wasn’t on my radar, which is why I asked. I was clearly just uninformed
Oh shit, I read your comment incorrectly. Sorry for sounding rude!!
All good, it happens
Could just be one Whale?

It was the most profitable mobile game in 2024.
Yes and I was jokingly implying one whale was the reason.
those would be krakens then
