Mobile-Game Makers Poised for Windfall Following Win Over Apple

Mobile-game developers may reap billions of dollars more in revenue this year as a result of a court ruling freeing them from rules imposed by Apple Inc.’s App Store.

Aldora Intelligence, led by industry analyst Joost van Dreunen, estimates that $4.1 billion in revenue could shift from Apple to developers, based on 2024 figures from the top 25 mobile-game publishers. More of the billions spent each year on digital currencies and items will end up in the hands of individuals and companies that create mobile games.
