So I'm bumping this thread.
Why?
Because F/GO just made international headlines
again:
Worldwide App Revenue Grew 52% Over 2015 During the Christmas Weekend
The relevant bit:
That's worldwide, and seems to be in order of gross earnings. So it's behind Pokemon worldwide, but F/GO managed to crack the top 5 in earnings over the Christmas holiday, leading up to January 1st, on the back of Japan and scattered international sales alone.
And this is being cited in places as wide-ranging as
cnet, so it seems to be a legit source.
Absolutely incredible. All hail the power of Merlin in the gacha, it seems.
(I may have been amazingly lucky enough to manage an NP2 Merlin from free rolls)
(yay)

As an aside, would this be the proper place to talk about the announcements they made over New Year's? F/GO has started to provide info on what'll be happening with the game in 2017, now that the first story campaign is over.
