DEVELOP INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE AWARDS | BETA
GRAND PRIX: ROVIO MOBILE Winning this Grand Prix is massive and I think that more than anything we've obviously gone beyond any expectation with Angry Birds. But more than anything I'd like to see this as a testament to where the focus is right now. So, I'm not saying 'drop everything else and go and develop in mobile', but we're reaching audiences that haven't engaged with gaming before. Ville Heijari
