50% drop in US Market, WTF ?

Just sharing this info with you guys.

We`ve posted back in April that we noticed a 20-25% increase in `willingness of users to spent` in the 2nd week of April. Unfortunately that is short lived. We noticed a drastic drop towards the end of April, and worst beginning of May, by average the `willing of users to spent` has basically drop by 50-60%, kinda fallen off a cliff.

Our other competitors (some which we remain on neutral to friendly terms, including top 1000 web sites in the world) has noticed at least some drop in terms of traffic, which i would speculate to be users too busy (to either find jobs or work) rather than playing games.

Do comment if anyone is running any game company that is targetting US or Europe market. Is Asia any better ?

* Willingness of users to spent is calculated based on average spending on our games per user
