Definition:
The Role-Playing Game (RPG) market allows the player to assume the role of a character in order to solve quests, defeat enemies, and become stronger by gaining various skills and equipment. RPGs are dominated by the medieval fantasy theme, although there are also modern and science-fiction RPGs. When it comes to apps, the RPG category accounts for the largest revenue worldwide: approximately 30% of all gaming app revenue. Established in the 1980s, Final Fantasy is a massive RPG franchise that has several app versions. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft, in which hundreds of players from around the world interact in a fantasy universe, also generate large amounts of revenue from subscriptions and the selling of upgrades and in-game items.Additional Information:
