G5 Entertainment suing MyTona, Gameloft goes free-to-play with Gangstar, and how Supercell grew Boom Beach

Boom Beach may not be Supercell's biggest game, but compared to just about any other game on the App Store, it's still a roaring success.

Turns out our readers were very interested in finding out how it came to be so popular, as Jon Jordan's dive into how Supercell grew its "runt" was our most read article of last week.

Second up is our interview with Gameloft on its recently-launched Gangstar New Orelans, and how the studio developed the game for a free-to-play market from the ground-up.

Secrets, stepping down, and South Korea

Third on the list is the news that G5 Entertainment is suing its partner MyTona for not renewing its agreement surrounding the game The Secret Society, a major money-spinner for both developers.

And finally, Bigpoint CEO Khaled Helioui steps down from his role to focus on developing his home country, and Lineage 2: Revolution was the top grossing game worldwide in February 2017.
