"we’re talking to our Dublin team about the future of that office and whether we can find a path to improve our profitability in Europe without having to close the operation."
Are there any PopCap employees here?
I can tell you how to improve your profitability in Europe: Try to sell your games there!
Popcap first announched that they would release some of their titles for Android in April 2009. When I asked them about what happended to this release in July 2009, they responded quickly and told me that "Peggle and Bejeweled Twist shouldn't be too far away".
In 2011, they actually released three of their games on Android: Bejeweled, Peggle and Plants vs Zombies. But get this: They did not release those games in Europe!
This is not an issue with content rights: All these games are available worldwide for Windows. There was no reason to restrict the games to any region. And they kept it this way until about a month or so.
In addition to this mess, the games were all really poor ports. Popcap also whitelisted only a very few handsets that the games would run on.
This makes me angry: Not offering anything for sale, and then complaining that your not selling anything.
