However, the data does not show how long it took the developer of Higgs Domino Island to pocket that much money last year. The reason is, in August 2023, access to play the game has been blocked by the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo).
“The real effort we have made is to terminate access and take down the Higgs Domino Island application on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We have done this and now there is no more Higgs Domino Island on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store,” said Budi Arie Setiadi, Minister of Communication and Information (8/8).
So gamers in Indonesia should no longer be able to play it, since Kominfo closed access. But if a player’s money enters this game after being blocked, then it becomes a question mark “how is that possible?”.
A little information, that the report revealed by data.ai, states that the data in it only comes from Google Play and the App Store. Then that’s just gross income, which hasn’t been deducted by application store fees.
So this does not include virtual money purchases that gamers usually make outside Google Play and the App Store. As many gamers know, top ups can be done through third parties who provide them.
Because, when compared to the data previously released by Kominfo, Higgs Domino Island caused a loss of IDR 27 billion. At that time, Budi delivered it.
“In fact, the turnover can reach IDR 2.2 trillion per month or IDR 150 million dollars, meaning it can reach around IDR 27 trillion a year, that’s for one site alone,” said Budi at the Kominfo office, Jakarta, Tuesday (8/8) .
