Is that more profitable per user, or more profitable total?
- OJFord 6y agoHow can you have either without the other?
- strombofulous 6y ago$1 per 1000 users on a store that gets you 100 users pays more than $0.01 per 1000 users on a store that gets you 1000.
- OJFord 6y agoRight, I think I missed some implicit context here.
- entropicdrifter 6y agoEasy. You get a publisher who takes a cut of the per-user profits but who promotes your game and gets you significantly more users, enough so that you end up making more total profit than you would have without the publisher.
- OJFord 6y agoI wouldn't call that 'profit', if it's before deducting an expense like that.
- mysterydip 6y agoMore profitable total. Took a lot more users to make the same profit as one sale on the app stores, but because it was free for the end user a lot more played it. Something like a couple hundred paid on the stores, but over a hundred thousand played the underground version.
