“Such a decrease in consumer activity may be due to the height of the holiday period, as well as traditional trips out of town and to cottages, where there are not always conditions for access to your favorite games. In addition, June was marked by several major sales and the release of the long-awaited multiplayer online shooter Overwatch, which most likely affected the spending statistics,” she noted in a comment for App2Top.ru Tatiana Milacheva, Director of Marketing Communications WebMoney Transfer.
