Free to play (F2P) games model has transformed the gaming industry; it has opened up a whole new consumer segment for a game developer, where even a non-hardcore gamer can enjoy a game on the go.
Now the F2P model, as the name suggests, is not just about giving free access to the content but also about generating serious revenue. According to Statista, the worldwide In-App Purchase (IAP) revenue is projected to cross 14 billion dollars in 2015.
However, not all F2P games have been successful enough to get a notable share of this big pie. Many successful games apart from having a creative concept, simple controls, intuitive design, etc., have a few more things in common:
- Tracking and analyzing user data
- Striking the right balance between gameplay and monetization
- Tying up with the right Ad-networks
