This is why companies chase mtx, because there are audience who can't pat an eye, when they spend 100$ like it's nothing.

Interesting article. I did not know this statistic. Although I have to admit that I like it and I did not make a mistake with my choice of profession. I develop mobile applications and games (syndіcоde.cоm/servicеs/mvр-develоpmеnt/). I am sure that this is a very promising area. In addition, my team and I are currently working on a very interesting project. I won't go into details and get ahead of myself, but the idea is very cool.
