.@ppphyl joined Fox News today to unpack a key shift in mobile gaming - it’s no longer about how many downloads you get, it’s about how many players you keep. In the segment, she highlights the transferable skills that mobile games build and take into new spaces like consumer apps. Big thanks to Fox News and Eammonn Dignam for the insightful conversation.

Supporting creators is the highlight of our job. Working with Overwolf and Hytale has been incredibly special since Hytale launched with mod support and surpassed 20 million mod downloads! We took announcing the Hytale New Worlds Modding contest and its $100K prize pool seriously since it’s never been easier for any gamer to make the mod they wish existed and earn from it. We’re proud to have placed it in 14 of our favorite publications, including Gamespot, 80 Level, Bleeding Cool, PCGamesN, and more. The future of gaming is in the hands of gamers themselves, and Overwolf is leading the way.

“We built this out of necessity. When you need 25 million assets, you either solve for speed and consistency or you don’t ship.” - @simon_davis The real AI headache right now isn't creating content. It's making it on-brand, every single time. With @trysecretsauce, the opportunity wasn't to position "another AI tool." It was to spotlight a bigger shift: brand memory is the new moat. That's the problem they were built to solve, and the story we helped them tell on Forbes. In a crowded AI market, features blur together. A sharp, differentiated narrative doesn't.

Hollywood used to adapt games like a gamble. Now they’re starting to treat them like franchises in the making. Really enjoyed this convo on the @naavik_co podcast with Dmitri Johnson and Mike Goldberg from @Story_Kitchen_ on UGC games, Roblox worlds, and why community-first IP is changing how stories move across screens.

In a market where returns have been tough across gaming and tech, @PlayVentures stands out: “Play Ventures Fund I, the firm’s flagship, continues to outperform benchmarks with a Net IRR of 43.29% and a DPI of 1.58 as of Q3 2025, placing it in the top percentile among global peers” - Harri Manninen (@karipelaaja), founding partner at Play Ventures This kind of performance doesn’t happen by accident.

On the Building Better Games podcast, @cocolitron (Co-founder and Chief AI Officer at Mighty Bear Games) shares how two decades across Ubisoft, Disney, LucasArts, and King shaped his view that AI can open up space for teams to focus more on the parts of development that matter most. He dives into the cultural shifts happening inside teams, the discomfort that comes with adopting new tools, and the ethical lines leadership needs to draw long before the tech draws them for us.

A massive week for @WearBlueberry and a clear signal of where fashion is heading. Coverage across Forbes, GamesBeat, and Business of Creators all landed on the same insight: Fashion isn’t just worn anymore. It’s made together.

Digital identity evolves in real time. @_amymadison’s vision showed up across all three features: ✨ Fashion built with code, not fabric ✨ Building the LVMH of digital worlds ✨ UGC as cultural infrastructure ✨ Games as the new malls + runways

.@PlayVentures' Henric Suuronen joined the DealMakers podcast to unpack how a childhood gaming obsession became a $100M+ exit and a $450M fund backing the next generation. As Henric puts it: “The best founders make you a little uncomfortable. They’re either so smart or so driven that you immediately know you want to be part of their story.” His philosophy is deceptively simple: master one thing exceptionally well, surround yourself with people smarter than you, and keep sharpening the edge.
