Not to mention that they make up around 40% of the Swedish Game Dev revenue and 70 all of the profit. Though, most other devs are actually owned by EA et al. So there is probably some Hollywood-style accounting going on

Just read that report this morning, some really interesting up and comers too.

Definitely!

We should see a good spike in Starbreeze's revenue as well as both Payday 2 and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons have sold well and received good reviews.

I expect there will be a fair few mobile/casual game companies coming up once the devs over King start creating new companies. Candy Crush has been such as success that we will probably see more along that line in the future.

Yep! As part of the article research, we actually came across countless companies who have developers who have contributed to some of the bigger hits like CC etc. Will be very interesting to see how those dev's use that knowledge and apply it to new companies.
