Casual Game Genre evolving? - 03/09/19 12:07 AM
I tried out but was never interested in playing Match 3 or TM/Strategy Games or Solitaire or the other genres. I just enjoy the Hidden Object/Adventure genre. There have always been plenty to choose from and I've bought hundreds of HOPAs over the years. I plan to continue to do so.
Lately, it seemed that the percentage of new HOPA games being issued had declined, in comparison to those other genres. I was curious, and so I did a rough tally of the last three or four days worth of announcements of new games on this Forum (excluding general discussion threads on games in progress and focusing on new game Announcements only). There were ten new HOPA games and there were 25 new Match 3, TM/Strategy, Solitaire and "other" types.
Has there always been a ratio like this and I never noticed or is there a gradual move toward more non-HOPA games versus HOPA? Are the other genre more popular than HOPA?
