Machine Zone Inc is a brand new company, so imagine their shock that Game of War: Fire Age has become one of the most popular MMORTS games on the app store, right up there with Dragons of Atlantis: Heirs of the Dragon and the other usual hits. It’s a dog-eat-dog world in this game, so you will need to do everything you can to become as strong as possible, and beat other players before other players beat you.
TG writes: There are thousands of free apps available to mobile gamers, but the question you have to ask is, "How can developers afford to give their apps away?"
MMOsite: "Arguably, Game of War is one of the largest mobile MMO games. This is in thanks to its rather popular Kate Upton advertising campaign, as well as its other…interesting use of sexually themed ads to drive traffic to the title. The popular title generates over one-million dollars a day in revenue – with paying players spending an average of $550 on the game in 2015.
However, one player went above and beyond that $550 statistic. Kevin Lee Co, a 45-year old man from California, United States pleaded guilty in federal court to embezzling 4.8 million dollars from his employer over a period of seven years. "
That is a crazy amount to spend on a mobile game. But I hope he got his fill as I doubt that he'll get to play it much in prison.
"players spending an average of $550 on the game in 2015."
What blows my mind is that that is the AVERAGE. Ffs no game is worth that much money.
Man this is a sickness.... Wtf
One million a day ... That's some serious cash for any game
WTF!?
It should not even be physically possible to spend a million bucks on a game...
Lee from Bit Cultures discusses his brief, nostalgia-laced obsession with the app Game of War, and how fun shouldn’t come with maintenance fees.
