This growth, which was characterized as "steady" by Detoc, is likely one of the main reasons Ubisoft picked Kolibi Games in particular. Idle Miner Tycoon, in particular, seems to have gained a lot of traction since its release in 2016, as the above report stated the game has currently been downloaded over 100 million times. While different forms of idle gaming have been around for years, it seems as if they have exploded in popularity thanks to the rise of smartphone gaming.
The intense popularity of mobile games seems to show no signs of slowing down in the near future, and Executive Director of Ubisoft Mobile, Jean-Michel Detoc, said the company is " strengthening our idle games portfolio" with this new acquisition, and calls developer Kolibri Games " one of the leaders in the segment."

While not embraced by everyone in the gaming community, many players still enjoy the idle game genre, even after bitingly-satirical takes on the process like Progress Quest were released. Based on the same gameplay loop which was popularized in the internet phenomenon Cookie Clicker, these games rely on a balance of stat management, tapping, and waiting. Idle games have proven to be a popular subgenre of gaming, especially in internet browsers and mobile markets, and Kolibri Games, which is based out of Berlin, Germany, has carved out a strong niche with their titles Idle Factory Tycoon and Idle Miner Tycoon.
