I'm glad to see console and PC sectors growing. But damn, the revenue from mobile games is insane! Is that mostly from micro-transactions? I don't like that trend, but provided it doesn't impact console/PC games I'm not overly concerned.

Sure, you have plenty of free to play games with cosmetics still but it feels like the ubiquity of loot boxes is slowly dying down on console/PC (at least in the games I play).
