The turnover of the Russian MMO games market has been growing for 4 months in a row
From March to June, revenue from MMO projects for desktops continues to grow continuously in Russia. At the same time, the dynamics jumps. In June, the turnover increased by only 1%.
About this App2Top.ru the WebMoney Transfer and PayMaster payment services reported. But they, first of all, noted an increase in the average check by almost 20% to 1,186 rubles compared to May of this year. This is also 57% more than a year earlier.
“A year earlier, on the contrary, there was a noticeable decrease in this indicator compared to the high indicator in May. The most loyal players spent more resources on games in 2017, perhaps this is the influence of an unusually cold summer in the European part of our country. The traditional focus of summer activities outside the home has shifted towards home leisure for a while,” the representative of the companies said in an interview with App2Top.ru .
Despite the growth of the average check, the growth rate of the market itself in June fell compared to May (1% vs. 5%). The situation was different last year. The dynamics was 15%.
“Last year, the activity of players was with a smaller check, but these expenses occurred more often and this led to a 15% increase in turnover, now the growth of the average check has not affected the total expenses,” they told us.
