The mobile gaming industry is on fire. Today, it’s worth more than $41 billion in worldwide revenues, up 18 percent from the previous year. That’s as much money as the entire global box office for films, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
The industry seems to have perfected the art of user engagement — creating enough positive reinforcement to keep casual players coming back, while ensuring that their VIPs stay hooked.
It’s staggering how much people spend on digital items (up to $550 per player annually!) — and e-commerce businesses would benefit by understanding how gaming companies are blazing this trail to high user engagement.
