Statistic says that in 2016 mobile users spent 11% of the time playing games on Android. These apps formed almost 40% of all downloads and brought their owners more than 50 billion dollars. Now, we’ll take a game and see what we’ll have in the result.

spending will not divide. But what about multiple cases? What if we make 5, 8 or even 10 apps with multiple licenses?

We increased expenses on hired workers but still, one app’s price is smaller than in the case of a single license. And the more apps we make, the cheaper they become. Still, each of them can bring the owner the same profit.
