It's the first time I'm taking a look back at a year in this format. Sharing my thoughts. If you enjoy the read, drop us a note and who knows, maybe this becomes a new tradition? 😉
PS: We've recorded the "roadmap" video, more about that in the next few weeks. 🤝

‼️2025 in review‼️
The Brawl Boss @FTMKeienburg himself just dropped a blog post going over the past year, the hits, the misses, the learnings, how it all came to happen, and why we did the things we did!
Grab something to drink and go read it from the in-game news! 📰

You're wasting half your context window.
We’re launching @thetokenco (YC W26) today.
We compress LLM inputs before they reach the model.
Fewer tokens, lower cost, faster inference.
Models also perform better. In customer case studies we’ve seen a 5% lift in user purchases due to higher preference for outputs from compressed prompts.
The API is live. Link in the comments

Updated my blog post with something I should’ve included from beginning: proper recognition of Royale creators whose passion — from tournaments to content to community building — was central to game's best year ever. That's on me, and me alone. I'm sorry. supr.cl/best-games

For every person Finland has, USA has 60. For every youth hockey player Finland has, USA has nine. For every indoor rink Finland has, USA has seven. Finland is an incredible hockey country.

It was an honour to be on Sequoia Capital's Crucible Moments podcast! We’ve been very lucky and it was fun to reflect back on our journey.

“Many of the best things we’ve learned have come through failures.”
@ipaananen built @supercell into Europe’s first decacorn by inverting the standard corporate hierarchy and radically accepting failures.
Hear the story of Supercell today on a new episode of Crucible Moments.

Miten Suomesta voisi tulla maailman paras paikka startupeille? No näin. Meillä on kaikki kortit käsissä, nyt kyse siitä osataanko pelata ne oikein. 💪🇫🇮🔥

Tässä vielä hyvä vertailu Turkkiin, jonka peliala on 10 vuodessa kasvanut suomalaisen pelialan ohi. Ovat tehneet rohkeita muutoksia siellä!
