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.

:o they must be rich... right? Either that or they will get bankrupted by a game.

People complain about $60 for a console game, but that's very cheap in comparison

I know! I asked people several times, "Why! Why do you spend so much money on a phone game!". The response were always either "I like it, so I don't care." or "It's pretty much my only hobby, so I don't mind spending money on it".

So, yeah. -_-
