“It took me all of two minutes to decide to join the company when I saw the gameplay,” says Thorbjörn Warin, the newly hired head of marketing for the Helsinki-based Grand Cru, the creators of their upcoming release, The Supernauts.

Compared to moving to Berlin from Stockholm, he found moving to Finland much easier and friendlier. ”It’s really been a dream. Everything is a little more Scandinavian up here. You get your digital number and you can do stuff online. In Germany you always have to carry around a folder of papers and wait in line. Very few people speak English when you have to deal with the government.”
