Top 10 Paid Games Overall 10 Real Steal #6

Cross Roads In four months: –Real Steel was a top 10 game –The title was profitable –Game was rated 4.5 stars 11 Should we focus on a new game or continue optimize and update?

Key Consideration Points Update: Cost of updates –Only key resources needed Organic growth –We had spent very little on marketing How unique is the game? –There was no other robot boxing game What were the KPIs? –Strong 1, 7 and 30 day retention –High % of paying users –Good ARPPU –High % of install base updating the game regularly New Game: Total cost of development and marketing New game concept and USP Was investing in one new game enough? Should we “Spray and Pray”? 12

Our conclusion: 13 Optimizing and updating Real Steel is the way to go.
