He actually says that "those guys [meaning the Yerli brothers most probably, but he doesn't even mention them by name] will invest $500M in Turkey", so he means it the other way round.
No way that is going to happen though, LOL.
I'm guessing it's more like that: the government invests into Crytek and there would be no reason for them to shut down their offices in Turkey and in other locations.
Crytek isn't mentioned by name in Turkey's PM's speech, his comments are only speculative and the apparent idea is that Crytek will "invest" in Turkey, not the other way around.

But, there are a lot of great 3D game engines, and their recent games have not been as impressive. It's sad, but it seems like the trajectory of most game studios/companies is ballistic. You hit on something that matches the zeitgeist. You make a bunch of money. You grow. Then you lose the plot, start losing money, and eventually fold. There are precious few really old gaming studios, at least that I'm aware of.
If you were to found a studio that makes a hit today, what would you do to ensure that that the organization was still producing games twenty years hence?
That applies to most companies, actually. The companies that remain at the top decade after decade are generally exceptional.
As to organizational durability - you might want to read on two organizations in computing - Apple and Pixar. And no, Steve Jobs is not the link here. Pixar is Ed Catmull & co:s doing. Ed Catmull wrote a book on his view of organizational durability from the point of view of Pixar - "Creativity Inc."
Nintendo is one of the oldest and still around. Etc.
