Interestingly, the highest revenue came from Apple (17.6%), which likely accounts for revenue made through mobile game microtransaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koei Tecmo finally saw revenue from Steam grow to over 10% in the past fiscal year, after releasing 8 new titles on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":42688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[261,17],"class_list":["post-49638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-financial-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
