The mobile gaming industry is currently undergoing a structural shift, moving away from traditional store-dependent growth toward web-based platforms and Telegram mini-apps.
- The casual merge game market is currently dominated by Microfun and Moon Active, who have successfully scaled by maintaining high production quality and utilizing intrusive ad strategies that prioritize long-term retention over short-term revenue.

- Consent Management Platform (CMP) implementation is critical for compliance, with paid solutions typically achieving 93–95% opt-in rates compared to 80–87% for free Google-based alternatives.
