What XD, Inc. does

Chinese gaming company operating TapTap, a popular gaming community and app-distribution platform, and developing/publishing its own mobile games.

Two engines: TapTap earns mainly from advertising bought by game publishers promoting titles to its community, while XD's own studios earn from players' purchases inside games they develop and publish. A hit title can shift results sharply, whereas TapTap's advertising ties to the amount game publishers spend to find players.

In one line: China's Discord-meets-Steam for mobile gaming, plus its own game studio.
