Türkiye: Rising Gaming Empire’s 5-Year

When you think of recent massive mobile gaming fundraisings, Turkiye is the first country that comes to mind.What secret sauce links Peak Games, Gram Games, and Rollic? It’s much more than their Turkiye origin—they’re architects of the casual and hyper-casual gaming boom. Their exits didn’t just validate Turkiye’s market potential; they catalyzed a 4B+ investment surge with over 150 deals in the past five years, positioning Istanbul as a strategic hub for global gaming innovation.But here’s the kicker: Those figures don’t include the seismic $2.5B fundraising (50/50 split between equity and debt) rumored to be in play for Dream Games. If confirmed, this deal wouldn’t just break a record of being the most prominent gaming fundraising; it would shatter them, surpassing even Europe’s flashiest tech rounds. To put it bluntly, Turkiye isn’t just part of the mobile gaming conversation—it’s writing […]

Pokémon TCG Pocket hit record daily revenue of $8M/Day

Pokémon TCG Pocket recently hit record daily revenue of $8 Mil a day! 🤑 and finally introduced Trading 💱 and it is, how to put it, "complicated" 😅. We all knew this was coming, but we really didn't expect this execution. Read the latest on all you need to know on one of the biggest new games on the market 😎. Every Gacha (lootbox = random rewards game) is based on the premise that everything you get goes through random chance. You can't chose what you get and there are very small chances to get the best content, because the game pretty much ends when you get it, which will never happen as they will add more "new best content" later 😅 Trading or any sort of mechanics that is directly skipping through the randomness is completely breaking this system.

Apple Faces Investigation in China Over Monopoly

China's antitrust regulator is preparing an investigation into Apple, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the situation. The potential subject of the investigation is the App Store's policies. According to Bloomberg, Chinese authorities suspect that Apple forced app developers to pay excessively high fees — ranging from 15% to 30% depending on their income levels. Additionally, the antitrust officials intend to assess the legality of prohibiting the use of alternative payment systems and mobile stores on iOS. It is reported that the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in China began discussing this issue with Apple executives and developers last year. Representatives from Apple and SAMR did not comment on the Bloomberg report. Notably, Chinese developers had previously attempted to sue the corporation, accusing it of imposing excessively large commissions in the App Store. Their efforts were unsuccessful. In May […]

Some insightful takeaways from the CTA survey

Some nonobvious / insightful 💡 takeaways from the CTA survey: • 18% of gamers (28.6m) are hardcore; most economically active. 73% male, avg. 29 y/o. Play 42h / week, spend most time on premium games. 91% play on PC / consoles. 51% engaged in creating content.

Not as active as hardcore, play fewer games & genres, but still quite often.• 36% (55 million people) are casual gamers (least engaged)• Gaming lifecycle chart (below) is interesting food for thought, and resonates with my own experience.• Every generation self-identifies more strongly as 'gamers' than the one before.From Consumer Technology Association Survey.For anyone with access to full survey, I'd be curious to know the 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵 criteria for placing a respondent into one of the three groups (hardcore, core, casual).

Why Some Puzzle Games are More Addicting?

The puzzle genre is a powerhouse in mobile gaming, generating over $7 billion annually in in-app purchases (IAP). Despite this immense market, more than half of the revenue comes from a single subgenre: Match-3. Established giants dominate not only Match-3 but also other popular subgenres like Merge and Blast, making it incredibly difficult for new entrants to gain traction. In such a highly competitive space, innovation is the key to creating new opportunities, and we've seen that with the rise of Physical Match and Tile Match games. Titles like Match Factory, Triple Match 3D, and Tile Busters have successfully carved out space by introducing fresh mechanics to the puzzle category. “Pair” games mainly consisting of Physical Match and Tile Match titles didn’t take long to become the third largest puzzle subgenre. As the puzzle market evolves, a new wave of […]
