    “ Candy Crush has approximately 738,000 players who are considered “whales,” meaning they spend a significant amount of money on the game, averaging around $1,400 each. This small percentage of players generates a substantial portion of the game’s revenue.”

    Level developers, maybe, but the company is just smiling.

          Love and Deepsace, which is a waifu/husbando rpg, does about 30-40 million a month.

          The production studio King, Candy Crush’s studio, reports 80-100 million monthly.

          One of my coworkers and his wife plays a somewhat old-school p2w chibi RPG, and in the last 14 months spent 28k. When he told me i did not believe him and this motherfucker pulled up his actual god damn receipts.

          I was stunned… for what its worth he is pretty fucking stupid as well.
