Send us a textThis week,We kick off with a catch-up on the Shadow Kyogre Raid Weekend and the just finishhed Delightful Days: Taken Over event — who had the best luck, and which features stood out (or sank)? Each host shares their highlights, frustrations, and best catches.In The News, we dive into Niantic's latest bombshell: GMax Battles can now host up to 100 trainers! Is this the future of large-scale Pokémon GO battles, or just a chaotic experiment? Plus, we discuss the sunny vibes of the brand-new Sunkissed Shores event, with thoughts on spawns, bonuses, and grind potential with the debut of Dondozo.Then, it's time for an honest conversation: Is Pokémon GO becoming TOO monetized? The hosts debate raid passes, paid tickets, event structure, and whether free-to-play players are being left behind.Counter Bros return to break down Necrozma raids — with Mark, Milo, and Ian giving you the best counters, typing breakdown, weaknesses, and the all-important 100% IV CP checks to help you secure the perfect catch.With a 60-second recap of Rookidee Community Day, before we round things off with your glittering submissions in #ShiniesOfTheWeek.We'd like to say a massive thank you to all of our Patrons for your support, with credited Patrons from featured tiers below:#GOLDJB, Kerry & Zachary, Barside2, Mandy Croft, Mr Mossom, Mufti, DeanDHL & Masterlaxus.#SILVERKLXVI, Dell Hazard, Spindiana, Lori Beck, Steve In Norway, CeeCeeismad, Macfloof, Saul Haberfield, Lizzie George, Sander Van Den Dreiesche, Neonnet, Ellen Rushton, James Alexander, Northern Soph, Tom Cattle, Charley Todd, Robert Wilson, MissSummerOf69, Malcolm Grinter, Jordi Castel, Thehotweasel, shinyikeamom, TonyOfPride & Johno.The Gaming BlenderWe mash genres.

two & a half gamers

This solo Two & a Half Gamers episode dives deep into Clash Royale's shocking revenue revival in 2025. Once seen as a declining nine-year-old title, Supercell's classic has quadrupled revenue, hitting its best month since 2017 with ~$57M in July 2025.Jakub unpacks the timeline of monetization and economy tweaks that fueled this comeback:2018–2022: Decline after failed battle pass integration.2023: Introduction of Evolutions (new progression layer).2024: Lucky Drops introduced (gacha system, adapted from Brawl Stars).Late 2024: Cosmetics added to deepen gacha.March 2025: Game-changing update – chest timers removed, season shop killed, all progression funneled into Lucky Drops.June 2025: Merge Tactics mode added (fun engagement feature, but not a revenue driver).The real driver: tightening the economy and pushing players toward monetized progression. Despite community backlash, revenue skyrocketed. Clash Royale is now Supercell's biggest earner again, overtaking Brawl Stars.Jakub stresses the core lesson: “Fixing your economy makes your game make much more money.”Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

You want to be a successful Multifamily Investor. It's not as simple as investing some money and then sitting back and collecting your checks. It's a lot of work, and there's a lot of risk involved. There is a good chance you'll fail, and there are three reasons specifically why you're likely to fail. In this episode, Isaiah and I discuss those three reasons. The first is the signal and the noise. As an investor, there are a lot of things competing for your attention, and you have to prioritize the ones that get you results from the ones that get you distracted. Second, every day is a roller coaster. You're going to have ups and downs, and often at the same time. You need the emotional fitness to keep going when everything depends on you keeping a clear head. Finally, there is stress and pressure. It's a stressful job, and you're going to have to find ways to deal with that pressure that don't end up bringing you down in the long run. Watch this video to hear three major reasons most people fail, so you can be successful.

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Grace this week and start off with what seems like a reasonable list of topics…  that we immediately have to bump half of because the night ran long. Thalen starts off with a bit of a rebuttal to our Eurovision topic as he shares his thoughts about Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente. From there, we talk about the death of Marathon and potentially Bungie as things keep getting worse for that game and its studio. Speaking of angry crowds…  we also talk a bit about the self-own of Star Citizen's recent round of pay-to-win allegations. Steam OS is officially available for devices that are not the Steam Deck, and we share our thoughts about an eventual future where we are running this on desktops. Somewhere in the midst of the show, we have this entire unintended conversation about how making PVP work for non-PVPers would mean needing to make losing feel enjoyable. Finally, Tam shares his thoughts about what he has played of Dune Awakening so far, and it is probably enough to rope several of us into trying the game on release.   Topics Discussed Space Opera The Marathon Debacle The Potential Death of Bungie Star Citizen Self-Own Steam OS Broad Release PVP for Non-PVPers Dune: Awakening

The game features mega units that are consumable and have powerful stats, adding a pay-to-win element. The Battleback feature allows players to open chests and upgrade characters using consumables. The Beach World introduces new maps, units, and mods, and the Squad Journey provides a progression path for players. The hosts express excitement about the game but question the impact of certain features on the competitive Supercell community. The hosts enjoy playing Squad Busters but highlight issues with PvP battles, such as lack of readability and incentive. The game's monetization system, including the gacha system, is praised, but the PvP win condition needs improvement. The potential impact of Squad Busters' global launch on other Supercell games, particularly Brawl Stars, is discussed. The game's target audience is likely to be different from that of Brawl Stars, with Squad Busters appealing to a more casual and approachable player base. Monetization strategies should be tailored to the Asian market, as pay-to-win mechanics are more accepted and successful in that region. Influencer marketing, particularly on platforms like TikTok, can be a powerful tool for promoting Squad Busters. Advertising channels such as TikTok, AppLovin, Google, and Facebook should be utilized to reach a wide audience. Creative concepts for advertising should focus on storytelling, showcasing characters and progression, and incorporating humor. Soft launches can provide valuable feedback and data, but given Supercell's expertise and the similarities to their other games, a soft launch may not be necessary for Squad Busters. Supercell's strong retention rates and high day 30 percentages indicate the potential for long-term success with Squad Busters. The success of Squad Busters will ultimately depend on the execution of marketing strategies and the quality of the game itself. --------------------------------------- Please share the podcast with your industry friends, dogs & cats.

Kane and Ash explore marketing in this episode, specifically when you have a budget to spend. Listen in as they tell you the serious dos and don'ts of paid podcast marketing and why sometimes it is worth it to ‘pay to win'! KEY TAKEAWAYS Do not pay for downloads! All your paid-for marketing should be on a podcast platform when people are already in the right frame of mind to listen to a podcast. You can pay for sponsorship if you can't get traction organically. A feed swap can be free or paid and has a great impact. BEST MOMENTS “Because podcast downloads are hidden, there's no benefit” “It's all about on-app marketing” “You can basically pay your host to say ‘hey if you love this show why not check out this other show'” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.
