He outlines three pillars: Dynamic Preloads, on-device display advertising, and alternative app stores. IAP games benefit most from preloads in Tier-1 European markets and LATAM, while IAA and hybrid games should focus on display with ROAS-based bidding. Case studies show Funvent Studios achieving over 2.5 million installs and Tripledot Studios beating targets by 20%. The article emphasizes blending pillars for optimal results.

Microsoft to Retire Copilot from Samsung and LG TVs
Microsoft is discontinuing its Copilot AI assistant on smart TVs from LG and Samsung, with full retirement scheduled for December 1, 2026. The feature, which was introduced less than two years after CES 2025 announcements, allowed users to converse with the assistant for content discovery and personalized recommendations. Affected models include 2025 lines from Samsung (Micro RGB, Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame Pro, The Frame) and certain smart monitors, plus LG TVs running webOS. The integration faced criticism, particularly on LG devices where the shortcut was auto-pinned without easy removal. Microsoft has not publicly explained the withdrawal. After the cutoff, Copilot will remain available on web browsers, desktops, and mobile apps, but TV owners will lose conversational AI features and must rely on native recommendation tools.
