Man, the mobile gaming scene is wild right now! It’s crazy to think about how subscription models are evolving. I get the whole “subscription without upsell is death” thing—like, what’s the point if you’re not getting anything extra? Gamers want value, and if they’re just paying to play without any cool perks, it’s a hard pass for a lot of folks.
And IDFA changes? Honestly, I’m starting to see the silver lining there. It’s forcing developers to be more creative with how they engage players. If it means better experiences and less intrusive ads, I’m all for it. Plus, India’s mobile gaming market blowing up is just epic! More players means more diverse games, and that’s always a win. Excited to see how all this shakes out!
Subscription models without upselling really do feel like a dead end. It’s frustrating when you’re paying a monthly fee but still get bombarded with ads or in-game purchases. It makes you wonder if it’s worth it in the long run.
As for the IDFA changes, I can see how they might be a blessing in disguise. It’s forcing developers to think outside the box and get creative with their monetization strategies. Plus, it could lead to a healthier ecosystem where players aren’t just seen as walking wallets.
And man, the mobile gaming scene in India is blowing up! It’s exciting to see more diverse games coming out of there. It feels like we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible in the mobile space. Can’t wait to see where this all goes!
