In this special Two and a Half Gamers episode, Matej and Felix sit down with Zino Rost van Tonningen (TyrAds) to deep dive into the history, present, and future of rewarded monetization & offerwalls.Key insights:History of rewarded ads:Early “incent installs” → rank-boosting campaigns (TapJoy, FreeMyApps).Multi-reward systems (TapJoy, IronSource, Fyber).Misplay breakthrough: timer-based playtime rewards + personalization.AdJoe & others scaled Misplay's model into SDK solutions.The shift to personalization:Old offerwalls = one-size-fits-all.New generation = hyper-personalized rewards per user.Use of media source data (Google, Unity, AppLovin, etc.) to adapt rewards based on traffic quality.Publisher perspective:Offerwalls can contribute 5–30% of game revenue depending on genre.Biggest impact: retaining non-payers & dolphins by giving them an alternative to IAP.Integration fights today echo old mediation wars (bonuses, rev guarantees, exclusivity deals).Best practices for choosing an offerwall partner:LiveOps environment — events, hot deals, timed offers.Transparency — explain revenue spikes/drops & media source impact.Personalization — reward scaling, segmentation by user type & UA source.UI/UX — aesthetics matter; no more “Windows 95” offerwalls.Zino's TyrAds SDK v3.0:One-time integration, no updates needed.Customizable design to match game branding.Hyper-personalized rewards, dynamic leveling systems.LiveOps events triggered per user (push, in-app messages).Takeaway: Rewarded monetization has entered its 4th generation: hyper-personalized, data-driven, and LiveOps-powered.https://tyrads.com/Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

We dive into AceCraft, Moonton's new Tom & Jerry–themed midcore gacha shooter that mixes Cuphead-style 1930s cartoon art with Habi-inspired systems and miHoYo-style monetization depth.Key insights:Gameplay & Core Loop: Systems & MetaDual banners (Tom & Jerry separately) with pity timers, skewed rates, and duplicate scaling.Each major character has a signature weapon requiring rolls.Collectible album (Royal Match / Monopoly Go style) with trade functionality, now ported into midcore — a first.Co-op synchronous modeThree-layer skill trees, elemental affinities, wingman companions.Monetization:~$330K/day IAP revenue post-launch (peaking with Tom/Jerry banner).Battle Pass upsell trick: Downloads ~300K/day at launch, half from China.Scaling across 17+ networks: TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Unity, AppLovin, IronSource, Mintegral, etc.UA creatives lean on retro cartoon surrealism, dancing ads, Tom & Jerry music, plus street interview trend (borrowed from Raid Rush).Prediction:Likely to fade in Western markets (art style too niche, monetization too punishing).Moonton may line up other WB/Looney Tunes IPs (Sylvester, Tweety, Popeye, Roadrunner) for similar launches.Takeaway: AceCraft is one of the deepest midcore gacha launches in 2025 — but built for Asia, not the West.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

In this special Two and a Half Gamers duet episode, Matej and Felix walk through how to set up Ad Monetization (AdMon) from scratch using Matej's own test app as a live case study. This episode is part tutorial, part comedy of errors, and part step-by-step guide for anyone new to AdMon.Key insights:App-ads.txt basics:Required by IAB for fraud prevention.Must be hosted on the developer's listed website (App Store/Google Play).Each network (Google, AppLovin, IronSource, Unity, Meta, Mintegral, etc.) requires unique entries.Some networks (like IronSource) force you to request Publisher ID via support, making setup painful.Mediation setup (MAX):One network is never enough — competition = higher eCPM.Best practice: integrate multiple (Google AdMob, AppLovin, IronSource, Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network).Connect networks directly in MAX for payout reconciliation & fraud safety.Network quirks:Google AdMob: straightforward, rewarded bidding setup.AppLovin: entries visible in account dashboard.IronSource: must email for Publisher ID.Unity & Mintegral: dashboard accessible.Meta/Facebook: painful; rewarded ads disabled for non-games, only interstitial/rewarded interstitial available.Best practices shared by Felix:Always keep app-ads.txt updated with every network.Cross-check revenue between MAX vs. direct networks.Expect a lot of clicking, logins, and waiting, but setup today saves revenue disputes later.Live Learnings:Matej's developer website missing → crawlers failed.Felix guided step-by-step through creating ad units, adding IDs, and verifying setups.By the end, Matej had MAX + multiple networks integrated, app-ads.txt updated, and was ready to monetize his app.Takeaway: AdMon setup is annoying, but essential. Do it properly once, and it will pay you back forever.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Itai Kafri on the topic of signal engineering. Itai is the Head of Product Growth at Voyantis and previously held senior roles at TikTok and ironSource. I've defined signal engineering as "the process of designing and capturing high-quality outcome proxies (eg., pLTV) so they can be reported back to ad platforms in real time such that those platforms optimize campaign targeting for them." Given the rise of platform-integrated automation, signal engineering is an emerging and increasingly critical tactic in digital marketing.In my conversation with Itai, we consider:The purpose and goal of signal engineering.How platform automation (eg., ASC, PMax) has intensified the value of signal engineering.Whether signal engineering is best accomplished using existing events or by experimenting with new, purpose-built events.Who within the organization is best positioned to manage the signal engineering experimentation process.What a team should aim to proxy with signal engineering.The different approaches that various types of advertisers take with signal engineering, eg., mobile games vs. ecomm vs. subscription apps.The commonalities that exist amongst the companies that have seen the most commercial success with signal engineering.Thanks to the sponsors of this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast:INCRMNTAL⁠⁠.

Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Elad Eldor about operating Kafka in production and how to keep your clusters stable and performant Interview Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? Can you describe your experiences with Kafka? What are the operational challenges that you have had to overcome while working with Kafka? What motivated to write a book about how to manage Kafka in production? There are many options now for persistent data queues. What are the factors to consider when determining whether Kafka is the right choice? In the case where Kafka is the appropriate tool, there are many ways to run it now. What are the considerations that teams need to work through when determining whether/where/how to operate a cluster? When provisioning a Kafka cluster, what are the requirements that need to be considered when determining the sizing? What are the axes along which size/scale need to be determined? The core promise of Kafka is that it is a durable store for continuous data. What are the mechanisms that are available for preventing data loss? Under what circumstances can data be lost? What are the different failure conditions that cluster operators need to be aware of? What are the monitoring strategies that are most helpful for identifying (proactively or reactively) those errors? In the event of these different cluster errors, what are the strategies for mitigating and recovering from those failures? When a cluster's usage expands beyond the original designed capacity, what are the options/procedures for expanding that capacity? When a cluster is underutilized, how can it be scaled down to reduce cost? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Kafka used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working with Kafka? When is Kafka the wrong choice? What are the changes that you would like to see in Kafka to make it easier to operate?

Martijn Lancee is the Senior Manager for Mobile Growth and Business Strategy on LinkedIn, where he has grown as a product leader over the past three years. Before LinkedIn, Martijn spent eight years at Google, where he was responsible for developing and implementing Google's app distribution strategy focused on preloads and pre-installs. Working on mobile growth preloads as a strategy, Martijn advises developers to launch a test with Digital Turbine and ironSource to understand how preloads could work for them. The challenging part is that you have to build that trust in time. Converting desktop and web users to start using your app offers more engagement and monetization. To convert users, you should constantly make effective app banners and let your users know about the benefits of using the app. You need to drive member value when launching a new feature or app. LinkedIn puts a lot of effort into ensuring that the platform is valuable to everyone with a job or looking for a job.

In this LevelUp episode, Melissa sits down with our very own maestro of creatives Dan Greenberg, Chief Design Officer at ironSource. They talk AI image generation, what it is, how it can be used now, and what it needs to truly change the game.

In addition, we touch on 2022: what's happening now after 2 years of explosion in the global gaming industry.

You've seen these great videos from Apple they tend to start with the WWDC event every summer, right? Both indie app developers and big app powerhouses get a chance to share a bit of their experience of building an app business. Do you know what's in common for such a broad spectrum of app developers? In one word - growth. The scale can be very different but the necessity to grow their user base is always there. It's 2022 - pandemic, recession, wars, iOS 14.5, a huge competition, how do you grow your mobile app in this environment? Ad creatives are one of the answers, it may sound trivial to you but that's only when your ads do work when they do generate sales and revenue. When they don't - I bet you don't think it's trivial that a good ad can bring you sales. In this episode, we've got Dan to tell us about the role of quality ad creatives in mobile app growth. Today's Topics Include: Born in Tel-Aviv, graduated as a graphic designer, and joined ironSource pretty much from day one to grow to its Chief Graphic Designer What is in today's app marketer's toolbox What makes an ad creative, pun intended, to click with people What makes a mobile app's UI cool for Dan Android or iOS? iOS on iPhone X What features would Dan miss most? Easy - WhatsApp :-) What's missing from mobile app technology? More advances for AR and VR Links and Resources: Dan Greenberg on LinkedIn ironSource Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Dan Greenberg: “4 years ago when apps and games were doing user acquisition, most of the creatives would imply investing a lot of money to create a kickass like the trailer but that would be just one creative. ” “In the end, creative, and you can say for some extent marketing, is something that we are always trying to quantify and turn into something that is machine-lead. ” “There are a lot of ads that take it to 11, meaning everything is exaggerated. If it's a game, for example, it would be something that looks epic and could be way more than the actual game.” Follow Business Of Apps podcast Linkedin | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube

We awaken from our Wardcast cryosleep long enough to get ahold of some audio equipment and record ourselves a podcast. Much has happened while we were away — too much to cover in a single podcast, in fact, so we'll just focus on the most recent events. Namely, John Riccitiello's continued mismanagement of Unity with its announced merger with ironSource. We then scooch on over to talk about the games we've been preoccupying ourselves with — we stand on either end of the soulslike spectrum with Tunic and Elden Ring, converse about Wordle and Wordle accessories, and take command of some decks in Magic: The Gathering. All this and more on this very special Wardcast! Games include The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Tunic, Inscryption, Wordle, Fortnite: Zero Build, Pokémon Legends Arceus, Elden Ring, and Magic: The Gathering. Got a question for the show? Join us on Discord at ward-games.com/discord or email us at contact@ward-games.com!

We also talk about E3's return to in-person events and what we can expect from it.
