I’m of the same mind. It’s why I’ve never really gotten into mobile games in general. It’s all about capturing the whales and casual players. More minor daily interactions, less meaningful ones.

The chart is Kayla’s work! I mentioned this on LinkedIn, but she sure glowed up my reporting!

Another great piece and loved the interview angle. I doubly appreciated the chart as I was reviewing the legs of this game. I loathe IAP/microtransactions and dislike the mobile game economy since games just evaporate. I can, however, at least acknowledge Nintendo's efforts to keep these games available in some capacity.
