Takeaways
Some games on the radar are experiencing steady growth and stable revenue, while others are declining or struggling to gain traction.
The success of a game often depends on factors such as gameplay mechanics, updates, and the target audience.
Developers should consider diversifying their portfolio and exploring new genres to avoid cannibalizing their own games.
The performance of games can vary greatly, even within the same company or genre.
