Report details
I’ve gone through the report and Xsolla has a lot of data. The company said 40 of the top 100 mobile games have launched web shops using Xsolla tools, and it assisted more than 151 games altogether in launching web shops, said Chris Hewish of Xsolla.
The market has recognized that Apple and Google are not inclined to soften their guidelines, let alone relinquish their 30% fee. In countries like South Korea, where payments through third-party systems are allowed, Google still charges 26%, rendering the use of external systems unprofitable, Xsolla said. There’s a lot more in the report.
