on investment, eSports, mobile MOBAs, and Europe's advantage
summary
Europe produces more mobile-game revenue abroad than it consumes, with a four-year M&A/IPOs analysis showing Europe net exporter and higher value creation per dollar invested than the US; salaries run roughly half of Silicon Valley so teams do more with less. Supercell timeline is concrete: seed June 2010 → Series A months later → ~£2bn revenue by 2014, then major acquisition. Mobile eSports and live streaming scale quickly in Asia; fundraising conditions tighten and valuations may be lower and take longer.
