    It was 100% mobile gaming that ushered in the age of microtransactions.

      Yeah, I don’t think lot of gamers realize just how huge the mobile gaming market is and how influential it is with other companies following trends of proven money makers.

      Like Apple ranked third in gaming revenue with 15.3 billion in 2021, and traditional gamers wouldn’t think of Apple when it comes to gaming.

      You give too little credit to horse armor.

      Mobile gaming was the major factor, definitely, but it was far from 100%.
