10 commandments of free-to-play, Mobile Mavens talk Pixel and Daydream View VR, and publishers are already buying up App Store Search Ads

Apple's App Store Search Ads launched recently, allowing app publishers to purchase a premium spot in App Store searches when users are searching for other apps.

There were concerns that big publishers might buy up all this space, so it's no surprise that our most read article of last week was about companies like MZ and Zynga doing exactly that.

Second on the list is our Mobile Mavens' reactions to Google's Pixel phones and Daydream View devices, and how they'll affect the phone and VR markets respectively.

10 commandments, 60 seconds, 150 staff

Third up is Rovio's Reginaldo Valadares giving a talk at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2016 on his so-called "ten commandments" of free-to-play design.

And finally, we find out more about the making of Robot Gentleman's 60 Seconds!, and Outplay Entertainment brings its headcount up to 150 staff.
