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.

Yes, still playing on still spending money on Lucky Eggs and Egg Incubators. I love them game, despite what everyone may think about it dying out already. The game will become popular every time a new generation of Pokemon are released on Pokemon GO.
