What Makes a Game Ready for an Entertainment IP?
In a guest post for PocketGamer.biz, SayGames COO Denis Vaikhanski discusses when a mobile game is ready for an entertainment IP collaboration, using the Tower War × Terminator 2: Judgment Day event as a case study. The collaboration was integrated into Tower War's existing progression systems rather than as a cosmetic layer, leading to over 2.5 million participating players, a 40% increase in in-app revenue, and up to 45% growth in daily downloads. Vaikhanski emphasizes that IPs should amplify already successful games, and that successful partnerships are built over years, as exemplified by the five-year evolution of Tower War and its developer Pavetra. The article highlights the publisher's role in creating opportunities and the developer's focus on game quality.
Der Buchspazierer Wins Primetime Among Young and Old
The ARD summer cinema broadcast of the bestselling adaptation "Der Buchspazierer" was the most successful film in this year’s Sommerkino series, averaging 4.2 million viewers and a 19.9% market share in total audience. The film also performed strongly among younger viewers with a 16.6% share in ages 14–59 and 14.2% in ages 14–49. ZDF was the closest competitor with a repeat of the crime drama "Unter anderen Umständen. Nordwind" drawing 4.04 million viewers. The article cites AGF SCOPE 1.15 / AGF Videoforschung as the data source and also reports audience figures for programs such as today’s news magazines and Sandra Maischberger’s talk show.
Sony Removes 500+ StudioCanal Films from PlayStation
Sony has informed PlayStation 5 customers that more than 500 StudioCanal titles will no longer be available to watch via the PlayStation Store or users' video libraries from 1 September 2026, after the underlying license between PlayStation and StudioCanal lapses. The article underscores that digital purchases on platforms like the PlayStation Store are sold as personal licenses rather than permanent ownership, and draws parallels to past removals such as Amazon's 2009 Kindle ebook deletions. It also notes that other major platforms (Amazon/Prime Video, Apple) include clauses or recommendations addressing loss of access. The author argues physical media (DVD/Blu-ray) can avoid such licensing fragility. The publisher metadata shows the page was published/updated on 2026-08-15.
