Look at Gaming #97 | Tuesday November 15th 2022
‼️ SPECIAL INSIGHTS 👀
powered by AppMagic.rocks 😎
We all know South Korea is one of the most gaming-forward nation in the world — and they're living up to that reputation as we recently saw NCSoft partnering with Sui and today Npixel is collaborating with Aptos. So I wanted to dig into the Korean publisher market to see whats going on. The top 5 publishers are NCSoft, 37Games, Netmarble, Kakao Games Corp., and Com2uS. In total for 2022, they generated $3.06B with 122M downloads. Comparing these figures to yesterday's Finnish publishers, we see that SK publishers know how to crank up that monetization or more likely SK gamers are wiling to simply spend more.

We all know South Korea is one of the most gaming-forward nation in the world — and they're living up to that reputation as we recently saw NCSoft partnering with Sui and today Npixel is collaborating with Aptos. So I wanted to dig into the Korean publisher market to see whats going on. The top 5 publishers are NCSoft, 37Games, Netmarble, Kakao Games Corp., and Com2uS. In total for 2022, they generated $3.06B with 122M downloads. Comparing these figures to yesterday's Finnish publishers, we see that SK publishers know how to crank up that monetization or more likely SK gamers are wiling to simply spend more.

For context, recall that Finnish publishers did $1.3B with 500M downloads and S. Korean publishers did $3.06B with 122M downloads. Clearly, Chinese publishers' size is size.

Apex Legends: Mobile was released in May this year. Let's check in on how they're doing the past 6 months. The game had two high months in May and June with a monthly rev of $7.2M and $7.1M, respectively. Since then the game has tapered off in the $3.5M range for the past two months. Similarly, we see the same pattern in the downloads with a peak at a whopping 15.8M downloads in May. Recently, the downloads tapered off in the 1.5M per month range. The lifetime revenue has been $33.5M with 32.8M downloads. The good news is that the game GM figured out how to monetize because the rev per download increased drastically from the low $0.30 in May to a high of $1.00 in Nov.
Tomorrow, we're going to check out some other comps!

As promised, today, we're going to look at some of Apex Legends Mobile's comps: PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire. Since May 2022 until now, PUBG pulled in $881M and Garena did $222M, when compared to Apex's $33M. Unsurprisingly, the genre incumbents dominated Apex's numbers by multiple magnitudes. What is surprising was that Apex seemed to have eaten market share away from Garena's more than PUBG's. In percentage terms, Garena has lost more revenue as Apex entered the scene. Rev per Download (RpD) basis for PUBG and Garena is at $6.63 and $1.84 respectively. Recall that Apex is already clocking in at $1.00 RpD. Apex's monetization engine is much better than Garena's and PUBG's when compared to their 6-month post-launch period. Though, Apex did have the benefits of standing on the shoulders of giants and learning the best practices from PUBG & Garena's multi-year track records.

Today I want to take a look at ABK, which is Activision Blizzard King! With Microsoft's $69B bid and them saying the mobile division is the most attractive asset, I wanted to dive deeper. So obviously, King's Candy Crush franchise is leading in terms of lifetime rev ($5.5B) and downloads (1.1B) but Activision's CoD Mobile ($1.1B / 383M) and Blizzard's Hearthstone ($976M / 95M) & Diablo Immortal ($164M / 17.5M) aren't too shabby either. In aggregate, there's about $7.74B in lifetime rev and $2.0B YTD 2022. Not bad, but is it worth the $69B bid?

We all know anime-themed mobile games have taken the world by storm. But some parts of the world are more receptive to Anime art style than others. Today, I'm doing a comparison between the top 5 Anime style art games for the East vs. West.
YTD 2022
East: $2.36B rev ÷ 24M download = $98 RpD
vs.
West: $575M rev ÷ 15.15M download = $38 RpD
The East has magnitudes more powerful monetization mechanics and/or high spending behaviors. The West clearly isn't keeping up with their eastern counterparts. Though the top game in both regions (Fate/Grand Order) is the same, the RpD is $419 vs. $118.
First come, first served. Free trial views of my dashboards:

Look at Gaming #107 | Tuesday November 29th 2022
‼️ SPECIAL INSIGHTS 👀
powered by AppMagic.rocks 😎
The Collectible Card Games (CCG) genre generated $550M and 86M downloads in 2022. The Eastern tier-1 markets generated $361M and the Western tier-1 markets accounted for $145M.
The top 5 games in the western markets for 2022 so far are WWE SuperCard, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, with MARVEL SNAP in 7th place all totalling $106.3M — basically 66% of the western tier-1 markets.
The concentration in the top games in CCG is driven largely by IP and is definitely a winners-take-most market structure.

Look at Gaming #108 | Wednesday November 30th 2022
‼️ SPECIAL INSIGHTS 👀
powered by AppMagic.rocks 😎
TIn 2022 we've seen Roblox acquire numerous retail brand partnerships from Gucci and Ralph Lauren to Nike. YTD, Roblox generated $777M with 170M downloads, roughly $4.50 per download — note that this is only their mobile app. These revenue figures doesn't include the brand partnership revenue (if any). Digital fashion is hitting the metaverse. Haute couture is here and we're about it. Roblox isn't the only example; platforms such as Fortnite also partnered with Balenciaga and Air Jordan. The interesting point is that these collabs could be as superficial as cosmetic skins to full-blown in-game on-brand experiences. But are the brands going to continue experimenting/utilizing these platforms in the short-term or would they wanna own the whole user exp themselves?
