According to
Adarapp.com marketing
director Anar Babayev, the rating would be different if advertising revenues were taken into account. “If you look at the“ monsters ”who earn on internal purchases, then for them advertising is 10% of the total income. And some do not use it at all, ”he
told RBC.

Supercell ,
Machine Zone ,

Wargaming .
Russia ranks fifth in the world in the number of downloads from the
App Store and

Applications from Google Play were downloaded 3.8 times more often than from the App Store. Their smaller contribution to total income is due to a lower price. 75% of revenues to publishers in Russia bring the game.
It should be noted that in the global market, Mail.ru ranks third in the number of downloads and fourth in terms of income.
