We’ve seen Nintendo team up with a few different companies on its mobile games over the past couple of years. One such company is Cygames, which helped create Dragalia Lost. Although that title is free to download, players can spend money on items. Unfortunately for Cygames, it sounds like players haven’t been putting down enough cash.

CyberAgent, the parent company of CyGames, reduced its fiscal year earnings forecast for the first time in 17 years in January. The reason? Dragalia Lost. While players of the mobile game have increased, revenue from each player has fallen short of projections.
