Industry Mainstay

The project 'Kolibri Games' is a verified, highly successful mobile game studio (acquired by Ubisoft for ~€160M) with over 100 million downloads for 'Idle Miner Tycoon'. Despite the immense real-world success, the submission itself is of very poor quality, using placeholder text ('everyone', 'most people') and an incorrect name ('SwiftGale'). The score reflects the massive verifiable traction and utility, penalized slightly for the lack of effort in the response quality.
