Supercell hits 100M daily players with just four mobile games

Supercell chief executive Ilkka Paananen announced today on Twitter that the Finnish company has hit 100 million daily active players who play its four games.

That is a huge accomplishment, considering the company has just 180 employees. Supercell has four releases on the top-grossing list of the highest-ranking 35 games, a rare feat that companies that are many times bigger are not able to accomplish in the $34 billion mobile games market, where millions of apps compete for consumer’s time and wallet.
