Yeah I was thinking about the numbers from the links I put in http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7223535 post and if you would compare those numbers to Candy Crush users of whom 97% do not pay any money to play the game just enjoying the free parts of it. So if you look at the daily user figure at 2.5m and go for 3% of that you still have 75k people per day who play it and would spend cash in it, massive numbers if you were to think those users even spent a dollar per day that's be $525000 per week from it. Crazy money.

$1/day seems quite low. As someone has recently quit a very competitive game that was freemium, I know people who were spending $50/week often. During big events, I had allies spending more than $500 for a single event. These games have their whales.

yeah I know, I'm just saying that if you were to take it as conservatively as possible with the 1dollar for 3% of the player base it ends up being over half a million dollars per week from it. That is not accounting for such things as in game advertising that they would make a ton from as well considering 2.5m daily users.

That's the thing about those mobile games they might be free to the majority of people who will have the will power to not get their credit card out to unlock the content faster... but for the 3% who do they are 3% of a massive figure so it's still $$$ for Kimmy West
