🚨 iOS acquisition just changed overnight.

Custom Product Pages now get indexed in Search.
Not using them = leaving rankings on the table.

If you’ve been sleeping on CPPs, this is your wake-up call.

New Games app - iOS 26 beta:
- It’s dark, visual, and clearly built to push social play.
- In-App Events take up way more space than just screenshots.
- Rankings are pulled directly from the App Store.
- No reviews or ratings on the game pages - just redirects to the main App Store.

Thoughts?

BIG NEWS - Epic vs Apple:
"Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside apps"

Which means that iOS developers may send users to a web store without paying Apple’s 30 % fee.

Potentially 30% more for devs. It's massive.
A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store
The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

Running is IN.

It’s the new way to socialise.

Drop in alcohol consumption for younger generations.

Rise of run clubs and “self care” trends.

The Race for the Best Running App is On
Strava just acquired Runna. But this move isn’t just about product features. It’s about user behavior, market dominance, and what drives people to commit.

🚫 NO MERCY FINALLY REMOVED FROM STEAM!
THIS HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM STEAM!

"Your goal is simple: leave no pussy non-fucked, since that's the only thing they all want. Never take 'no' for an answer."

Things i liked about Nintendo Switch 2 Direct:
- The new GameChat feature
- The camera which gives Wii vibes
- They showed the real screen-sharing experience, with lag and all
- The color of the shirts matching the controllers 🔵 🟠
- The perfectly co-ordinated magnet snap by the presenters at 13:06 🤌

If you missed the news ... Apple was fined €150M by the French competition authority over ATT!!

Implementation of App Tracking Transparency (ATT) was deemed disproportionate and unnecessarily complex, leading to user confusion and undermining fair competition.

📢 Women are mobile gaming’s most engaged, high-value players. Yet, they remain underserved.

Meanwhile, the biggest opportunity in mobile gaming lies right in front of us: creating games by and for women and investing in an audience that’s proven its loyalty, engagement, and spending power.
The Mobile Gaming industry can no longer ignore Women
What if we could tap into an audience and generate profits like we did a few years ago, when the industry was at its peak?

🐝Scoop: Beehiiv is launching a new tool that'll help creators sell their ads directly to advertisers, with rate cards, invoices, and software to place ads.

The company is on pace to make $35 million in revenue this year. Programmatic ads could come in 2025.
