On the podcast: Google’s Project Genie, Take-Two, Stillfront, Ares, January’s top games, more

 

The mobilegamer.biz podcast is a concise, banter-free digest of what’s driving the mobile games business.

Every week, mobilegamer.biz founder and editor Neil Long goes on a walk and tells you what’s going on and why it’s important.

This week:

  • Unity, Epic and more react to Google’s Project Genie world model tech after game stocks slide
  • Mobile is up 19% at Take-Two, and is nearly half its earnings overall – and bossman Strauss Zelnick is more and more bullish
  • Stillfront could close more games amid revenue declines, narrative game sell-off and restructure
  • Glu 2.0…? New Mike DeLaet and Niccolo de Masi-led outfit Ares Interactive raises $70m
  • January’s top grossing games and biggest downloads, according to Appmagic
  • Data, soft launch and new game news
  • I’m also going to DICE next week. See you there?
