The booming mobile games market was rocked this week by news with a worldwide impact: the alliance between Unity, the biggest mobile videogame development platform, and the Malaga company Uptodown, to facilitate the publication of Android games in its downloads platform, thereby consolidating it as ... the principal independent alternative to Google Play.

The players will not have to register or install the Uptodown app. "They won't even have to leave the game, because the payment method is integrated inside with web technology," said Luis Hernández, the co-founder and CEO of Uptodown.
