King dodges Xbox cuts, Destiny Rising, Google's store fees, Ustwo slams platforms, June’s top games, more

The mobilegamer.biz podcast is a concise, banter-free digest of what’s driving the mobile games business.

Every week, mobilegamer.biz founder and editor Neil Long goes on a walk and tells you what’s going on in under 20 minutes.

In this episode:

• More sources suggest King has so far dodged having to make layoffs in the big Xbox reset
• Now that Destiny 2 is no longer being supported with new content, what’s going on with Destiny Rising? It might be in a “death spiral”, it seems
• A rattle through Google’s explanation of its suite of new store fee policies, which are still pretty complex and might not be all that meaningful for most developers
• Ustwo Games on platforms not doing enough to fix discovery and moving away from making Apple Arcade and Netflix
• June’s top grossing games and top downloads, according to AppMagic
• A quick tour of the regulars from this week: data, jobs and new games 
• A sudden police siren in the middle of a bit about King dodging those xbox layoffs, plus traffic noises and chatter from Brighton’s delightful seafront
