Pokémon Go still most profitable mobile game despite 79% less paying
The game offers a number of microtransactions and after in-game purchases peaked in mid-July, the number of players in the U.S. still shelling out for them dropped by 79% according to Slice Intelligence.
But the discrepancy is not as dire as you might think.
In August, the app still managed to generate the most revenue across all mobile games, taking a 28% share of the market. Candy Crush came in a distant second with a humble 4.5%.
And even at the beginning of September, almost a quarter of all mobile game buyers made a Pokémon Go purchase.
The app has been massively successful for Niantic and it certainly hasn’t done the Pokémon brand any harm.
Are you still playing Pokémon Go and frittering away your cash on Lucky Eggs and Lures? Let us know in the comments.

HaloLilithaPoIiceEli Still waiting for this game to die so I never have to see this shit again.
Agreed, this was a one week hit in my opinion, after playing it and realizing how much it needs to be improved i threw it all away. Its shit in my opinion.
Why bother posting on this if you do not like the game?
Happy we have a different way of earning candies other than just catching them. Snorlax and Dragonite candies here I come... Annnd good to see that they are still making a profit.
How did they change the way we earn candies?
Introduced a buddy system. As you walk with your buddy, they earn candy.

Toxicator Since everybody started school, college, uni, jobs etc. No one has time to play this game anymore.
They lost a massive amount of people just weeks after launching. 15 Million, if I remember correctly. The game was a let down. Crappy tracking, constant server crashes, and game features everyone wanted that wasn't there. Battling players, trading, etc etc.
Game is simple, but fun for a couple hours IMO. That's it. But hey, they seem to be doing good.

After the update that disabled any websites or any legitimate form of tracking I dropped it really fast.
