Devolver Digital raises $261M at $950M valuation on LSE

Devolver Digital has gone public on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM submarket in a deal that gives it $261 million in proceeds for both the company and shareholders at a $950 million valuation.

Devolver itself will get $50 million in proceeds, while $211 million will go to selling shareholders, which include the management team and investors like NetEase, which will still hold a stake. I think the lesson is that comedy can get you rich.
