This is an intermittent observed series, not a continuous daily feed. The chart remains useful because every point and interval is inspectable. The most recent successful production crawl is older than 72 hours. Existing measurements remain visible while ingestion is recovered.

Dots are complete DJAI crawl rollups at their real dates. Straight segments only guide the eye between them; intermediate dates are not generated. Archive samples use a different collection basis and are not spliced into these lines. Baseline 100 makes direction comparable while the rollups table preserves current raw momentum.

New releases by genre

Where new titles are actually landing, from the latest genre rollup.

Derived, not fetched: Play has no new-releases collection, so this counts games whose store release date falls inside the rollup window.

Monetization mix by genre

Share of games in each genre offering in-app purchases, and share carrying ads.

Both series are percentages of the same population, so they share one axis honestly. Two measures on different scales would get two charts, never a second y-axis.
