How it’s built
- App-store gross spending for 2025 was about $722–733m, or $494m after the stores’ cut.
- If $1bn is player spending, at least $267–278m (27–28%) was outside the stores; if it is operator net revenue, at least $506m (41%).
What we assumed
- The “more than $1bn” claim is true.It is a press relay attributed to Scopely or unattributed, not a company filing.
- App-store figures from an app-data vendor are accurate.The only measure available; vendors differ.
Sanity check
The gap is consistent with growth of web-store purchases, which app-data vendors cannot see; if the $1bn claim is loose, the share could be lower.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- App store gross: $722–733m
- App store net: $494m
- Gross reading W min: $267–278m
- Gross reading share min: 26.7 to 27.8%
- Net reading W min: $506m
- Net reading share min: 40.8 to 41.2%
- 1,000-732.8 = 267.2 (26.7%)
- 1,000-722.1 = 277.9 (27.8%)
- 1,000-494 = 506
- 506/(732.8+506) = 40.8%
- 506/(722.1+506) = 41.2%
