How Mobile Gaming’s Solitaire Giant Shuffled Its Strategy and Won Post-ATT

MobilityWare’s strategic evolution serves as a blueprint for mobile gaming studios navigating the restrictive post-App Tracking Transparency (ATT) landscape.

  • MobilityWare achieved a 21% increase in click-through rates and 38% growth in its US-based iOS user base by shifting from granular user acquisition to a privacy-centric framework post-ATT.
  • Studios should adopt 'cost weighted by retention' as a primary performance metric to balance the need for scale with long-term player value in a privacy-restricted environment.
  • Successful measurement in a fragmented landscape requires a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) model that synthesizes probabilistic data with Apple’s SKAdNetwork to overcome measurement delays.

Skillz CEO Andrew Paradise on the $75M Accelerator and the Future of Skill-Based Gaming

The $75 million Developer Accelerator program aims to catalyze the next generation of high-quality, synchronous, skill-based mobile gaming.

  • The Skillz Developer Accelerator program provides $75 million in capital and infrastructure to studios developing high-quality, synchronous, skill-based mobile games.
  • To qualify for the accelerator, developers must demonstrate strong performance metrics, specifically a Day 1 retention rate exceeding 45% and a proven capacity for long-term live operations.
  • The skill-based gaming market is projected to grow from $31 billion in 2022 to $85 billion by 2030, driven by competitive models that prioritize entry fees and prizes over ad-supported or pay-to-win monetization.
