Your dive into Garena's Free Fire achieving a billion downloads is an eye-opener. The contrast you've highlighted between Free Fire's strategy of focusing on low-spec devices and the industry trend towards higher fidelity games is particularly striking. It's fascinating how this approach has not only allowed them to dominate the download charts but also tap into a vast market of gamers with lower-end devices, especially in emerging markets. This strategic choice seems like a classic case of understanding and catering to your audience's needs, which many high-fidelity focused developers might be overlooking. Your insight into the potential for smaller studios to carve out a niche in this underserved market is a valuable takeaway for developers looking to make an impact.
