IGG Games’s COO Kevin Xu discussed the success of games like Lords Mobile, stating the following: “We limit our marketing budget below 25% of our cash flow, which is 8 million USD per month. We definitely will continue our marketing efforts, as the key of the success of a game company is to consistently acquire new users. IGG’s user acquisition may be slightly different from other gaming companies. We don’t like to absorb a huge amount of new users in the beginning and then no users to acquire later. Losing players so quickly on the market is sad, we prefer a steady flux of new players on a sustainable basis.“
