In unrelated news, macOS is now the 2nd most popular gaming platform - after iOS.

Now that you can run iOS apps on it.

looked up: video game industry is $190bn and lootbox is $19bn market. iOS therefore cannot be the most popular platform, despite it possibly with highest mental share for some.

You don't just look at money, you also look at time spent. But even when it comes to money, https://sea.mashable.com/tech-1/20432/60-of-entire-gaming-ma...

Mobile gaming is nearly double the rest of gaming market combined.

However, it looks like Android gets more money there: https://www.businessofapps.com/data/mobile-games-revenue/
