Pokemon TCG Pocket receives over 10 million downloads in first 48 hours
Random Q. Does anyone know Nintendo receive any profits from the micro transactions ?
The App Store 30%, so I’m assuming Nintendo gets the rest
*gets
Yes, but it looks like, not so much.
The game is pretty much a Creatures Inc game (since it’s Pokemon cards/digital merchandise.) but the pie technically gets cut in 4 pieces, overall. The Play Store/App Store, DeNA, TPC, and Creatures inc.
Right off the batt, the App stores make 30%. Nintendo Owns 1/3 of TPC and about 10% of DeNA. So yes Nintendo gets 1/3 of TPC piece and 10% of DeNA’s. But Creatures Inc also owns 1/3 of TPC.
So again, Nintendo’s cut, is fairly small.
one can imagine the meltdown that are having the palworld apologists, XD
