Season 7, Episode 15: The modern mobile gaming economy (with Phil Black)
Philip Black, game economist and consultant who worked at Scopely, DICE, and Amazon Games, joins to map the modern mobile gaming economy. Conversation jumps from why puzzle and 4X now dominate to how hyper-casual mechanics feed deeper loops. They explore AI-driven personalization, Android vs iOS install gates, direct-to-consumer web shops, and emerging monetization like warbonds and sampling-based event boxes.
