PocketGamer.biz has released the 101st Week in Mobile Games podcast, featuring head of content Craig Chapple, features and data editor Aaron Astle, editorial director for events Mariam Ahmad, and guest AppsFlyer global director of product for gaming Adam Smart. The episode walks through the main industry headlines and the team’s picks for the week.
On the show they talk about Gamescom and the idea of a discless console future, and whether that would change fandom around big console releases. The hosts also debate whether cloud gaming has a real audience, laying out recent signals and developer perspectives discussed on the episode.
The episode covers Türkiye’s rapidly growing games hub and its $4 billion industry, Pokémon Go’s “stellar July” for revenue and other chart toppers from the month, and MTG’s rebranding of its midcore division to Playamp with notes on AI and D2C mentioned by guests. Each topic is discussed with specific examples and guest input rather than abstract statements.
