Rovio spin-off Hatch's cloud-based platform, Facebook launches Instant Games, and meet the biggest Indian developer you've never heard of

Our article on Indian developer Timuz calls it the "biggest Indian developer you've never heard of", but after so many people have now read the article, that might now well be untrue.

The story of the developer behind India's Train Simulator 2016 was by far and away the most read article of last week, shooting straight to the top of our Hot Five list.

In second place is Facebook's Instant Games launch, and the news that big-name developers like King, Zynga, and Konami all contributed titles to its launch.

Clouds, court cases, and courting failure

Third up is Rovio's reveal of its new cloud-based gaming platform, which will allow mobile gamers to play over 100 games by streaming them for absolutely free.

And finally, Zynga has filed a legal complaint against Scopely and two former employees for allegedly stealing design documents and staff, and Disruptor Beam's CEO Jon Radoff tells us all about what you can learn from failure.
