What is it about?
We looked at the differences and similarities between the Finish and the Swedish game industry by looking at what game engines have been used to develop games and on which platforms games were published. We also compared industry size and their development and proposed some reasons for similarities and differences.

Why is it important?
The game industry in Finland and Sweden is performing exceptionally well taken but both countries are small. Understanding why this is so can help find ways to strengthen the game industry elsewhere.
Perspectives
It was really illuminating experience to look at games from 1979 to the present and see how the games and environments have changed over time. This gave a different perspective to game industry research.
