One of things I look forward to in February is the annual blog published by Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen. As some of us may recall, last year Mr. Paananen shared the stunning revelation that Supercell's live game teams will grow from small teams to "larger teams responsibly".
Here are my main takeaways from supercell.com/en/news/next-chapter/
I'm glad the live teams will continue to grow so they may produce more content. It seems Supercell has been on a hiring spree since Mr. Paananen published his blog in 2022. I cannot believe there was a time when Supercell employees raised the issue that the company was growing too fast so Supercell put on the brakes and implemented a hiring freeze per a previous blog. I hope these employees have adapted to the current Supercell culture of growing to "larger teams responsibly".
I'd like to congratulate Team Clash of Clans and Team Hay Day for their amHAYzing accomplishments. And thank you also to the Clashers and Farmers for supporting CoC and HD financially in ways I cannot and will not. You are awesome!

...As I wrote about last year, a big mistake (my responsibility!) was that, for the longest time, we applied the same thinking on team size to both new and live game teams. Our live teams have grown a lot and continue to grow, but we are still not where we ought to be and we’ll continue to push on this front.
...Clash of Clans and Hay Day both celebrated their 10th anniversaries in 2022. Millions and millions of people still play them every day, and many have played them for years and years. Incredible milestones built on top of the achievements of both teams and the many people who were part of those teams, dating back to 2012 (or was it 1982?)
Clash of Clans has generated over $10B in lifetime revenue. Hay Day has exceeded $2B. Both amazing.
