Couldn't agree more. When consoles start at $400, you're eleaving people playing free to play games.

It makes sense to price #GTAVI at $100, as consoles loom $1,000 and gaming computers into $2,000.

It's now when cheaper alternatives will start to appear. #Retroid, for example.

I'm still behind the theory that paid games have better retention than free games.

It's called Β«Sunk Cost FallacyΒ».

#F2P games let players uninstall the game without guilt. However, gamers will feel like losing money if they don't play a game they paid a lot, like #Marathon.

To me, Marathon real test will be when #CrimsonDesert releases in 13 days and counting.

Mobile gaming is global.
Player behavior isn’t.

In 2025 everyone plays daily on mobile, but how players discover games, stay engaged, and spend money still depends heavily on culture.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ In the West:
– fast installs
– many games per week
– ads and value bundles dominate

πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸ‡°πŸ‡· In the East:
– fewer games
– deeper loyalty
– story, events, characters and exclusivity matter

For indie developers, this is not trivia.
It’s the difference between churn and longevity.

I wrote a long-form, data-driven (and opinionated) analysis on how culture shapes mobile gaming in the US, UK, Japan, and South Korea β€” from discovery to monetization, from influencers to IP collaborations.
