Now, I don't play this game, and I'm not interested it, but it's both crazy and scary that a game with seemingly little development cost is bringing this much bank. It's things like this that make me sometimes fear for the future of gaming, only sometimes. I think most developers will stick with what they're good at, and what's making them money, the thing is new developers may decide to go the cash shop route.

This is the basic game play

They were even able to afford a Superbowl commercial starring Liam.

    thats mobile gaming tho bro. they make money off of little kids ( and adults) buying "gems" . its just a glorified RTS with paywalls. you can either grind for a very long time, or pay for instant gratification.

    They have a new similar game called boom beach or sumn.

    u know they banking when they can have commercials run all day for these APPS
