I'm not a gaming stats expert but if they don't track the mobile and f2p game spend with the general gaming spend, then that's kind of a bogus stat to draw the article's conclusion from. Most "mobile gaming" people I know spend more money on those games than I do on Steam with an incredibly long backlog of games I'll never play.

Bingo. And now you understand why most outlets haven’t really been saying this and it is mostly the slop farms like modern day waypoint (although,Ana Valens is one of the scabs who walked after vice removed all mention of the christofacists attacking video games storefronts).
Spending is indeed down all over. But when you are actively ignoring a lot of data (because most analyst groups don’t get access to roblox corp’s revenue charts), those categories “drop” a lot harder.
