Mornin’! I’ve got a tough riddle for you today. I’m created by the world’s most valuable company. I’m not a phone, app store, or game - but if you pay, I combine all three. What am I? (the answer is at the end of the email).
In today’s newsletter: new features are revealed for Hitman, a bunch of games now have release dates, some amazing games go on sale, and our giveaway with Erabit is soon ending!
🎮 Top Story: 83% of Mobile Games Die Within The First Three Years
According to a new report by SuperScale and Atomik Research, 83% of mobile games die within 3 years of launch.
How dare they! If The Battle of Polytopia and all the other great mobile game gems disappear, I’ll have to search deep in my heart to forgive the devs…
Thankfully, 17% of games do stick around. And as long as we keep supporting great indie games, we increase the chances that the good ones stay while the bad (pay-to-win) ones leave :)
