Clash Royale's resurgence has saved the dream of a Supercell IPO. Especially with Brawl Stars returning to KPI Earth, Squad Busters in hospice, Mo.co confused, and everything else chugging along. There's a whole lot more to write about how they've done this

My father is a game dev. He is insanely gifted. We were playing MW2 (2009) together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to develop it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
