Nice man... I hope it keeps getting bigger and bigger every 4-5 years!

Nice man... I hope it keeps getting bigger and bigger every 4-5 years!

This period has been an intergenerational transitional period, where normally things are quieter. And also had the pandemic and big inflation, the issue with the ads in mobile plus other issues.

Considering everything, I think it's a miracle that the gaming market managed to double (in case of console and PC even more) its revenue in 4 years. We should be happy.

I agree and I hope things will stay this way so that the gaming industry stays active and more good stuff stays coming!

PC+ consoles combined cannot overtake mobile gaming in terms of revenue

True, it has been like that during several years. And this is considering that revenue growth in mobile has been seriously hurt by changes in policies related to privacy in advertisements, which now prevents mobile gamedevs to target the ads as accurately as before.
