      It’s also a saturated market because of the low barrier of entry, without an advertising budget you are taking a gamble no matter how good the gameplay is.

      Even a whale can decide to just spend more money on a game they like more. It’s not an endless market for companies to delve into.

        Most people spend nothing or just a few bucks on mobile games. But the “whales” spend several thousand.
