Market Intelligence

The Market Intelligence desk tracks the moves that change the competitive map: acquisitions and leadership changes at the platforms and publishers buyers compete against for install volume, chart performance that signals a genre shift before it's obvious in your own data, and the quarter-close context that tells you whether a flat quarter is a you problem or a market problem. We cover the deal itself — who bought whom, what a leadership change actually means for a live partnership — and the 'what it means for buyers' translation that a press release never includes. This desk exists so a UA lead doesn't have to reconstruct the last month of gaming-industry news from six different trade outlets before a planning meeting. Start here for the context behind this quarter's biggest structural moves.
