So FGO is celebrating 10 million downloads.



I wonder how many active users are still active though.

Some of those accounts might be re rolls, but I doubt there are that many re rollers, even with bot programs.

Most I'd assume are people who try it out and then stick around for a little maybe before dropping it due to not getting invested in it.





F GO doesn't have quite the 100 million or even 1 billion downloads of some free chat or weather apps, but it probably makes more money then some of them, since some don't have microtransactions or even ads, and just provide a service and ask for donations.



FGO as I recall is one of the most profitable game apps, though not sure about apps overall including non game apps.



I wonder what's the income distribution. Is FGO's revenue mostly from whale buyers who use a thousand or more a year? Or is it from a lot of 'dolphin' buyers who maybe use a hundred a year? Or are whales who blow lots of money on this game more common then I assumed?

Because the game does make nearly a billion a year with its microtransaction, lottery gambling model to get new art work for their waifu or new waifu.



I also wonder where the income comes from. Is most of the money from Japan users only? Because I know some non Japanese pay for the Japanese game and play the Japanese version. Though I think most of the money, at least 50%, maybe 90% or more, comes from Japanese people playing.



Still some people in this thread have spent a considerable amount as well, but I find online threads not totally representative. We're only a few people here after all, probably. Our impact might just seem bigger since people on forums spend more time online then the average person, but there actually aren't that many of us (at least in global percentage terms out of the billions). There are a few spenders here, but I'm guessing there's lots more spenders in Japan.



The NA version of FGO currently is only projected to make $1 to $10 million a year. That's probably enough to fund the translation and marketing team and ads. Probably.
