Why is that ? I though people on iOS spend a lot more on apps than on Android ?

  Games are not apps. At least not for your average user. And then you still can only charge a single digit (or at most a low 2 digits) amount of dollars. There's no way you can charge as much as AAA titles with iOS games.

    Don’t be so sure. Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, and many others have thought in tons of money. More than AAA? I’m not sure. But Candy Crush didn’t cost what Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War did either. Not even close. And the game prints money year after year in a way most AAA games don’t. Unless they IAPs too like GTA Online.

      That's the 1% of the 1%. There is only a handful of games that earn even remotely that much.

  It's generally through IAPs in freemium games, people have just become far more resistant to pay-up-front apps. I think a large part is not allowing you to try before you buy, people are afraid of getting burned. Even though freemium games are often horrible after a while of playing (unless you're willing to dump hundreds of dollars into them), the initial experience usually feels pretty fun and you feel good that you got it without having to spend any money to get to that point.
