"I focus on the top 100 or the top 200," said Syvähuoko, pointing out that while the top ten games might be stagnant, the other places in the grossing charts still generate a lot of money for developers.

"It's still possible to break through," suggested Seppanen, pointing to Fallout Shelter as a game that appeared out of nowhere and became a huge success.
