Migration was easy, it was decentralised, had a famous original author & a huge famous project using it and had a lot of "hip" source code platforms such as github, gitorious, bitbucket (pre-atlassian) and gitlab. I'm not surprised it won tbh. Game companies are still using Perforce though.

  That, and repo size can get huge in a game project and no one wants to have to copy the whole thing to do a check out. Svn still sees use for gamedevs that don't want to buy.
