In some categories, we even recorded a tripling of the cost for an average mobile gamer.” Needless to say, marketing costs naturally increase when markets mature, however during the summer the average CPI broke the $2 barrier, and it’s been growing ever since. While the first couple of Quarters for 2013 looked ok, (as far as CPI being on par with...
