在本期播客中：苹果应用审核困境、EA 裁员、Supercell、Monopoly Go 以及更多内容

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 about 20 minutes.

In this episode:

A rattle through that story about AI-made games and apps clogging up Apple’s app review process, slowing approvals down badly – Google’s Play Store review seems fine though
EA is cutting 400 jobs as it gets absorbed into Saudi ownership – it’s not clear how this affected mobile but it’s all quite baffling and bleak
Merge Mansion and Metacore are now officially part of Supercell
Hasbro has earned another $40m+ from Monopoly Go
An aggressively edited section about Netflix Games which at the time of recording suggested that about 60 games staff had been let go but we since learned might not be the case
Wargaming’s cofounder has raised $10m to grow Mika Games, which looks like another UA finance-type firm
Meaty round-ups from our data, jobs and new game digests
A surprising amount of background car noise
