Summary
Review Radar 12 is where we revisit the games we’ve covered and find out who lived and who died. This time, the joke’s on us: nearly everything came back scaling up. Felix kept reaching for the stick to poke dead games, and Jakub kept insisting they’re all still breathing — and mostly, he was right.
The lesson that keeps repeating: hard work pays off, revenue and DAU often tell opposite stories once D2C is involved, and “dead” is a lot rarer than a declining revenue chart makes it look.
