With news like this, EVERY GREEDY DEVELOPER SMELLING MONEY IS GONNA START THE FTP CONVERSIONS! The "good" devs will probably stick to their premium guns, tho Still though... Jesus farking Christ.... They even bought out Grasshopper Manufacture, the guys behind Shadows of the Damned and No More Heroes. That means... FTP COULD BUY OUT THE PREMIUM DEVS AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!! *deep farking breath* Well.... at least they made lotsa money
...Yes ...But ...Puzzle & Dragons isn't in the top 50 grossing chart currently so this information is suspect. The current top spot, belonging to Clash of Clans, is referenced to make less than $1 million a day in that article. True or no, the apparent numbers and math do not seem to add up to support the information from this article regarding Puzzle & Dragons. Edit: Unless P&D does remarkably much better in other markets...
Someone in the comments on that article mentioned that it did well in Japan on Android. Dunno if that's where the majority of the revenue comes from, but it may be good to check... Any Japanese TA folks who can look into that?
