The mobile gaming industry is one of the most promising business sectors. Studies show that the demand for gaming applications in the world has increased by more than 40% in recent years alone.
I recently read here how much it costs to develop a mobile game, it turns out it's not cheap, for some reason I thought that this service is much cheaper, I even planned to launch my own game.
