Rovio sees best growth ever, Google reworks discovery on Google Play, and is Kabam's breakup really a success?

Things don't look particularly great for Kabam right now - it's just sold off its biggest assets to Netmarble and regrouped under a new name. But what if this is actually a major success for the developer?

Contributing Editor Jon Jordan certainly thought so, and his take on the state of Kabam struck a chord with our readers too, propelling it to the top of our list of the most read articles of last week.

Second up is the news that Google is reworking its discovery algorithm to focus less on the number of downloads a game has, and more on the number of users it still has engaging with it.

Birds, billionaires, and bagging jobs

Third on the list is Rovio's biggest year of growth yet, with revenues up 34% overall thanks to a number of older titles raking in the cash.

And finally, Jon Jordan takes a look at the original billionaire F2P games and how they're performing five years on, and we chat to Noredus' Aleksandar Aleksic about how to become a Producer.
