GIS income/revenue streams...$$$€€€££££

[Pakman]

I read an internet report recently that GI derive their income from the following sources;

30% - android platforms
30% - IOS platforms
30% - income from Facebook
10% - income from selling tickets marked as "solved"

Anyone know if this represents an accurate description of their revenue streams?

Where did you read this?

Yeah, that seems like a very simplistic breakdown of revenue, especially if the rumor that android games are more valuable to them is true. (That's why android users seem to get updates and "fixes" more often and iOS users just get screwed.)

But they "sell" solved repair tickets? I don't understand that, but it would make sense that they mark literally everything "solved" even if there isn't a solution. If that's true, whoever is paying them for that information made a bad investment.

mcmanda - The 10% selling tickets that are "solved" comment was a dig!!!!!! ( billsnj - will understand)

 

[mcmanda]

Yeah, sorry, missed the joke. But that article gives a lot of insight (no pun intended) to GI and the way they run their company ... and it's not great.

Russia’s Game Insight Aims For Another Top-Grossing Android Hit With My Country



For as long as Android Market’s top grossing list has existed (which is only a few months), it’s been dominated by Paradise Island, an app from an obscure studio named Cooper Media Group.
While Cooper Media is just the label, the company behind it — Moscow’s Game Insight — is far more interesting.
Run by five Russian women, Game Insight has built out a veritable army of developers with 11 gaming studios scattered across the country and other former Soviet bloc countries. At its #1 ranking for Android Market’s top-grossing app (which excludes advertising revenue), the company says it makes a little over $1 million per month on that title alone after the platform’s cut.
“It’s our inside joke. We are five women who manage 300 male engineers,” said Darya Trushkina, the company’s business development manager. “It happened by accident and we just realized that there were all women in the room. But it’s worked out really well.”
