. The Company has chosen not to pursue some low margin revenue opportunities and instead has invested in building the foundation for future high quality, higher margin growth areas. The Directors believe that this was the appropriate, long-term approach, as evidenced by the recent agreements with Azerion and one of the world's leading AAA gaming companies.

As a result, and subject to audit, the Board expects FY21 gross margins to have improved significantly, to in excess of 30% (FY20: 13%). As a result, gross and net profits are both expected to be broadly in line with market expectations. Due to delays in completing certain agreements and certain deferrals of ad campaigns, we anticipate revenues for FY21 to be below current market expectations. However, revenue for the year will be significantly higher than last year (FY20: £1.7m).

The reasons for missing revenue targets are given above. However they met profit targets and improved margins.
They are smashing it in new games signings too. Very impressive.

Using the calculations from the above site inflation over the period is over 100%

Actually this doesn't reflect 12 years of inflation either. So I don't how much more to factor in here......already a 100 x plus inflation........

Despite Massive’s closure in 2010, some experts were quick to point out that the company was more of a success than a failure, particularly from its shareholders’ perspective. “For the founding team, it was an unbelievable success for them,” said James Draper, CEO of the in-game advertising firm Bidstack, which formerly employed Massive co-founder Katherine Hays as an strategic advisor. “They were only doing like $1.8 million of actual revenue before the exit — so for them to sell it for $187 million dollars was an unbelievable return.”

No that's even too cheap. It's a more like a 100x

So if we're doing $15 million that's a 10 x from here....

Draper isn't going anywhere you muppet! Sure he got ahead of himself at the off but has recovered himself with 17 stunning rns's and a guaranteed minimum contract for the next couple of years at the very least. Expecting lots more games too. 73 at the last count.
