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 in under 20 minutes.
This week:
– Metacore is to cut up to 160 staff and refocus purely on Merge Mansion as it becomes part of Supercell, which has bought it out and will absorb it fully, like it did with Space Ape
– News of 16 staff cut at Marvel Snap maker Second Dinner, though we’re told the second game is not affected
– An overview of a fascinating fireside chat between Scopely and Niantic that chronicled how that $3.5bn megadeal happened
– April’s top grossing games and biggest downloads, according to Appmagic, including a surprise appearance from Minecraft
– All your usual data, jobs and new game nuggets
– A new whooshing sound between sections, annoying and unfixable audio issues in the Supercell part and the very distant sound of the Atlantic ocean
