I've never met or heard from anyone that actually plays it, but they *must* be out there since it's grossing [huge sums of money.](https://www.pocketgamer.biz/monopoly-go-revenue-falls-58-in-october-but-remains-a-top-10-grossing-game/)

Both are incredibly popular mobile games which represent everything wrong with mobile gaming.

I’ve heard a few of them mentioned as guilty pleasures and/or something someone gets hooked on for a short time. In my anecdotal experience, have never seen someone pay for anything in them but apparently they’re still making bank!

Interesting that the post in my feed after this one indicated the Monopoly Go was the most profitable game of 2024. Mobile gaming is just multiple sets of almost entirely separate cultures from each other and other gaming spaces.

Ah ok, so it’s just my not paying attention to the space. Sounds like PoGo will just continue to be a whale wealth extractor then?

I've played Stumble Guys cause there's a PC port on steam for free. It's basically a knockoff of Fall Guys, if that wasn't obvious. It's not awful though, it could be a fun time-waster.

https://gameworldobserver.com/2025/02/21/hasbro-2024-report-monopoly-go-112m-bg3-royalties $112 million dollars in profit (profit, not revenue) for Monopoly Go, and got state that no-one's heard about it?

Could just be one Whale?

Yes and I was jokingly implying one whale was the reason.

Yup, if not worse.

It wasn’t on my radar, which is why I asked. I was clearly just uninformed

I feel like any MMO is like that. A significant number of players focus on that game above playing any other, so those gaming communities become insular.

Oh shit, I read your comment incorrectly. Sorry for sounding rude!!

All good, it happens

those would be krakens then
