Epic Games' decision to relent and finally put Fortnite on Google Play -- almost two years since announcing that it wouldn't be doing so with a pretty blunt statement on Google's revenue share from CEO Tim Sweeney -- has been reported in most places as succumbing to the inevitable. That's not an unfair characterisation.
The decision to bypass Google's app store on the company's own Android platform always seemed enormously unlikely to succeed, both in terms of damaging Fortnite's own performance (which it must have done, otherwise this U-turn wouldn't be happening) and in terms of Google itself being largely unconcerned by the whole affair (which, again, seems to be the case). That it's taken this long for the decision to be reversed does indeed speak to stubbornness as much as anything else.
Epic's lengthy refusal to use the Google Play store, however, hasn't happened in isolation. It's emblematic of a much broader bugbear which the developer has with the business model of digital distribution generally -- specifically, the 30% cut which has become the industry standard for digital distribution platforms. On consoles and on iOS, Epic has had no option but to go along with the policies of the platform holders -- albeit under protest -- but on the two platforms where the company could do something different, namely PC and Android, it has taken a stand against this aspect of the business.

Epic Games, the creators of the battle royale sensation Fortnite, have been pretty averse to releasing their hit multiplayer game on Google Play. Citing Google's 30% cut as a deterrent, the company made their game accessible as a third-party software downloadable outside of Google's app store. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney commented that “30 percent is disproportionate to the cost of the services these stores perform, such as payment processing, download bandwidth, and customer service.” Epic even went as far as to request for an exemption to the 30% cut in December; a request that was unsuccessful.
However, operating as a side-loaded app might not be the optimal decision as it leaves out a significant chunk of potential users and Android flags third-party apps as a potential security risk. Epic Games released a statement about revising their decision:
After 18 months of operating Fortnite on Android outside of the Google Play Store, we’ve come to a basic realization. Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.

Marketing intelligence firm Sensor Tower is on the record as being bullish about mobile gaming's prospects during the pandemic, and today it released some information backing up those calls in the short-term.
According to a Sensor Tower blog post, mobile gaming metrics across Europe were up significantly during March, when much of the continent was locked down due to COVID-19.
Sensor Tower said March was the best-ever month for game downloads, with new installs across Europe up 19% over February and closing in on 1.2 billion.
User spending was also up for the month, but not quite as much. Sensor Tower said Europeans spent $740 million on mobile games in March, up 12% month-over-month.
It wasn't just games that were breaking records last month. Sensor Tower said it was the best month ever for downloads and user spending across every app category.

Apple has more than doubled its previously announced donation to efforts fighting the coronavirus in China.
Reuters reports the company has now donated over 50 million yuan ($7 million) to the various initiatives and organisations helping to tackle the impact of COVID-19 in the region.
Apple previously donated 20 million yuan ($2.82 million) to the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, focused on supporting six hospitals in Hubei Province, the epicentre for COVID-19.
The rest will be donated to longer-term public health recovery efforts, according to an announcement by CEO Tim Cook via Chinese platform Weibo.

Gaming appears to have received a short-term boost due to the global pandemic. App monetization and ad firm ironSource offered the latest indication of that this week, reporting that its company has seen increases in people playing games since countries started implementing social distancing policies and going into lock down.
First and foremost, ironSource saw a jump in weekday daily average users (DAU) across the board. (Weekend numbers also rose, but not as significantly.) In the US, the weekday DAU was up 13% since March 13. In South Korea the jump was 23% since February 20, and in Italy DAU was up 15% since the country began lock down.

Pokémon GO just saw its best week yet in 2020, despite growing lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders worldwide.
According to information shared by Sensor Tower, Niantic's location-based adventure earned nearly $23 million in gross revenue last week, showing week-over-week growth of 67%.
That is likely in part due to a major in-game event last week, but seems to be additionally supported by recent changed made to the game to make it easier to play while staying at home to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
Sensor Tower additionally reports that last week's total accounted for 13% of all total revenue earned in 2020 thus far, with US spending accounting for 34% of the total.

Retroguru brought the puzzle game Fruit’Y to Symbian S60 / UIQ devices today, port is courtesy of Lars Persson (AnotherGuest).
Fruit’Y -- Playing with edibles is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST.
Although tiger mum forbids little Sheran to play with edibles, there is simply no way to stop him from playing with fruits found inside the deep jungle. Being shiny, smelling wonderful and tasting even better Sheran can’t be kept away. So let’s do the best we could do: Support him!
The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to Sheran who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?!

Niantic has introduced a number of temporary changes to location-based mobile title Pokémon Go in an attempt to discourage behaviors that may enhance the spread of COVID-19 (known as novel coronavirus).
The developer has postponed its March Community Day event indefinitely, as Community Days offer rewards to large groups of players meeting and playing together in populated areas.
Additionally, Niantic has decreased distances to hatch Pokémon Eggs, is offering more rewards from PokeStops, and is increasing Pokémon spawn rates -- all effectively allowing players to continue playing and gain increased in-game rewards despite traveling shorter distances and avoiding populated areas.
The in-game store is also offering a one-time purchase bundle of 30 Incense -- an item that spawns Pokemon at the player's location even if they aren't moving -- for 1 PokeCoin. Single PokeCoins can be obtained in-game for free by leaving a Pokémon in a Gym location for a short period of time.
Niantic has also postponed its March Community Day in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.

With more people in China and greater Asia choosing or needing to stay inside during the coronavirus outbreak, there has been an increased interest in home activities. Demand for Nintendo's fitness game Ring Fit Adventure is said to have soared. User spending in certain categories of mobile apps -- including games -- has also surged, as people have kept themselves busy while exercising safety precautions.
[h=2]Revenue and download growth[/h]Sensor Tower Store Intelligence estimates show that games revenue on the Chinese App Store during January 2020 increased by 36% compared to January 2019. The number of downloads also grew, rising by 38% year-on-year.
In January 2020, the Chinese App Store -- not including third-party Android stores -- generated more than 31% of global games revenue for the month, the largest share of any country. It also accounted for close to 24% of all App Store game downloads worldwide, just behind the US with 26%.
In fact, downloads for games in China during both January and February 2020 were at the highest level since July 2018.

Plague Inc. has been pulled from the China App Store.
"We've just been informed that Plague Inc. 'includes content that is illegal in China as determined by the Cyberspace Administration of China' and has been removed from the China App Store," developer Ndemic Creations said today in an update on the game's official site. "This situation is completely out of our control."
The studio added it wasn't clear that the removal was related to the COVID19 novel coronavirus outbreak that originated in China late last year.

The BBC this week launched a new mobile game based on an original IP. The release marks a notable change in tact into how the state-funded broadcaster has previously approached video games.
Developed for BBC Children's by London-based Goodboy Digital, Nightfall is an online co-operative mobile title, playable in browsers or on iOS, Android, and Amazon devices. As a product of the BBC's non-profit model, Nightfall plays by slightly different rules than the conventional games industry.
In a statement, the BBC said Nightfall has been designed with the aim of "uniting young players with their friends in a safe gaming environment."
"Creating a positive and safe gaming experience is at the heart of Nightfall, and, to protect players, the game doesn't include loot boxes, ads or micro-transactions," said the BBC.
With a focus on creating a safe social space, the BBC has also veered away from data collection, and limited in-game communication to pre-set emojis. Although the BBC has a long history of dabbling with games from a brand-first approach -- and boasts over 200 kids' games in its web portfolio -- senior product manager Will Storer says this is the broadcaster's first attempt at a gaming-first approach, taking into consideration what the wider industry has to offer.

Ever since checkra1n’s release in November, iOS devices with an A11 or older SoC became hackable on the latest firmware since the checkm8 exploit it uses is hardware-based and unpatchable. However, the community has had one major gripe with checkra1n which was its exclusivity to macOS but that has just changed since its long-awaited Linux port is finally here!
 You can finally jailbreak your iOS 13 device without owning a Mac or running Hackintosh on your PC which is more difficult than it sounds on certain hardware!
Earlier today, checkra1n 0.9.8 was released and this includes:
- Support for Linux on 32/64-bit x86 and ARM platforms meaning that it can even run on your Raspberry Pi!
- Support for iOS 13.3.1 which is the current version of iOS
- An option has been added which lets you jailbreak iOS versions that checkra1n isn’t officially compatible with
- This option is usually needed when Apple releases a new version of iOS and checkra1n isn’t updated yet. It’s also useful for those on beta versions of iOS
- A new CLI has been introduced with support for fast DFU, the ability to set custom boot-args and a –version flag
- Low-Level patching is now done by pongoOS
- Many bug fixes & webra1n (web-based GUI for headless solutions)
You can grab checkra1n from its official website by selecting the platform of your choice.

Japanese mobile company DeNA is shuttering two of its Japan-only smartphone titles in the coming months: Fantasy Earth Genesis, and Torikago Scrap March.
Siliconera has reported on and translated the announcements of the shutdowns, both of which are happening to relatively young games. 50v50 action MMO Fantasy Earth Genesis was launched by Square Enix and DeNA in September 2018, and turn-based RPG Torikago Scrap March has only been around since April of last year.
Fantasy Earth Genesis has already ended sales of its in-game currency, and will officially close its servers on March 31, 2020. Torikago Scrap March will continue selling its currency until February 27, 2020, but its servers will shut down on the same day as Fantasy Earth Genesis does.
Neither shut-down announcement gave detail on the reasons for the games' closure, though Siliconera notes that Fantasy Earth had originally been part of a paid subscription service that failed due to low subscription numbers, and was retooled into Fantasy Earth: Zero by GamePot as a standalone title shortly after.

Nintendo appears to be getting comfy with subscription models for its games and services, as it's announced it is finally introducing one for its most successful mobile game: Fire Emblem Heroes.
Fire Emblem Heroes will be getting a "Feh Pass" on February 5, 2020, that will cost $9.49 per month. In return, subscribers will receive two special heroes each month complete with unique outfits, visuals, voices, and stat boosts (these will be available for non-subscribers to purchase following their period on the Feh Pass), unique quest objectives with in-game currency rewards, and additional gameplay assists and boosts for PvE play that will help speed play up, bolster characters, and redo undesirable player decisions.
The critical elements of the pass revolve around the included heroes and the ability to complete more quests for in-game currency such as orbs, which can be spent to acquire even more of the game's heroes. Fire Emblem Heroes' gacha system to acquire these characters has proven lucrative, as the game is now responsible for 61% of Nintendo's lifetime mobile game revenue, which reached $1 billion last month.
This is the second subscription service Nintendo has implemented in one of its mobile games, with the first being Mario Kart Tour's Gold Pass. Nintendo also has $20/year subscription for its Switch online services, including free NES and SNES games.

2019 was another stellar year for mobile game revenue. Sensor Tower estimates show that worldwide spending in games grew 12.8% across the App Store and Google Play, from $54.7 billion in 2018 to $61.7 billion in 2019. For some perspective, that's 74% of all in-app spending for the year, which hit approximately $83.5 billion in total not including Android in China.
Tencent's Honor of Kings was once again the highest-grossing game of the year, generating close to $1.5 billion in gross revenue. Another title from the Chinese publishing giant, PUBG Mobile, shot up the charts in 2019 to hit No. 2 in the rankings with just under $1.5 billion as well. The battle royale game grossed close to $1.3 billion more than in 2018 thanks to its re-launch in China, where it's now known as Game For Peace.
The top five was rounded out by Sony Aniplex's Fate/Grand Order -- which became Japan's top grossing game of 2019, usurping Mixi's Monster Strike - King's Candy Crush Saga, which increased user spending by $84.5 million year-over-year, and Niantic's Pokémon GO, which had its best year ever.
