Not looking to dissect this really. I just want to be another person to chime in with a "what the fuck?"
1. It is very successful buy iphone app standards
2. It is making a lot of money
3. The human species consciousness is becoming so short-term that we are making impactful judgments (stock market, app store reviews) not even after letting a week go by.
I thought the game was very mediocre the first couple days, then the rally mode combined with the extra characters and collectibles shop got me into an addictive groove.
In other words, as simple as this game appears on the outside (and it is indeed simple), its draw can't necessarily be seen in a matter of days. Word-of-mouth for this game from the people who love it will make a long-term impact. I'm convinced. And because the brand recognition is so much strong than dungeons&Dragons, Sonic, even flappy bird, it's not going to vanish.
I think it is a more substantive game than Pokemon Go as well. Nothing can change investors minds right now, but if the game continues to sell well long-term than investors may eventually come around.
