The one-two punch of the next GTA and the anticipated launch of a new Nintendo console would have bolstered the global games market in 2024, and deliver a more positive year compared to 2022's decline (at least compared to the COVID years) and 2023's marginal growth.

Mobile gaming revenue is projected to increase by 4% year-over-year to $111.4 billion in 2024, according to a new Data.ai report. This is despite the prediction that consumer spending will drop a further 3% in 2023 to $107.5 billion. The growth was attributed to a projected increase of popularity among several genres, including RPGs, match-three titles, and party games, with RPG and match-three games contributing $1 to every $5.

If you recall, for my initial Cogmind map zoom demo upon adding Quad support to REX, all I did was change one thing in the game: the map font size.

There’s something overly severe about equating joylessness in learning with higher-quality learning, especially when the students are kids and teenagers.
