What do you mean by whales everywhere?

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

A whale is someone that spends a tremendous amount of money on mobile games. These are the people most games pander to or otherwise design themselves around

Most people spend nothing or just a few bucks on mobile games. But the "whales" spend several thousand.

But not on all games. Only on games they're addicted to.

It's a finite resource that mobile games have to fight each other for.
