Last week, Finnish developer Supercell held its own Free Your Play 2013 festival.
Mixing up a keynote talk from DeNA Sweden's Ben Cousins, and Q&A with Puzzle & Dragons developer GungHo Online and a panel talk also including King and Wargaming, it then became something of a mid-summer party with plenty of music, food and drink, and general good times among the 600 mainly Finnish developers who attended.
The odd UK journalist was also allowed in too, and so we took the opportunity to do some interviews.
