Hey Friends, Greetings from Bangalore 💗
RMG platforms pull in way more cash than BGMI, Free Fire, Teen Patti (Indian poker) or Ludo King. If they enter the Play Store, the IAP ecosystem will change—fast. Monetization pressure will rise. So will user risk.
And here’s the real fear:
One financial controversy with an RMG app, and state government/s may respond with blanket bans.
» State bans won’t come with genre filters, they won’t separate RMG from traditional/casual IAP games. That puts every gamedev at risk.
I’ve seen this space grow from 500KB Java games to UPI-powered IAPs, pushing ARPU from $0.15 to $0.25 and beyond by earning trust.
» Don’t let ₹10,000 jackpot mechanics burn down what took us a decade to build an IAP behavior.
Who’s Protecting your/my Players? We lack
» Self-exclusion systems
» Loss limit
India’s users already side-load. We’ve had alternate stores, apk mirror, XDA Labs… We know APK culture. Do we need RMG games in playstore?
