Panel: Nordic Gaming - State of Play.
summary
Panel surveys concrete shifts: Nordic games scale from 3,000 to 15,000 employees and revenues from €250M to €7B turnover over two decades, driven by breakout hits like Max Payne, Battlefield, Minecraft-era studios, Rovio and King, and console AAA builders such as Remedy and CCP. Teams cross borders with studios opening in Stockholm and remote hires across Europe, companies report 20+ nationalities onsite, CEOs openly share metrics, but funding tightens and publishers/VCs grow more cautious.
