It has always been this way. High cost, high risk, need lots of staff, so have really low overheads.

Only in the last... 8? Years (aside from Sony) we've seen big places in london, due to massive mobile profits.

Not sure even manchester has gotten many big places since psygnosis.

I used to work for Sony Computer Entertainment at the EU HQ in London, there were a few games studios there, all located around the same street just off Oxford Circus, along with a big R&D office.

I think the London Studio is still there, not sure what they are working on now though.

King who make candy crush are near there too, I went for a job interview with them around 6 years ago, you could tell at that time, judging by the offices, they were not strapped for cash...
