DMA Design (which later became Rockstar North, developers of Grand Theft Auto) were formed in Dundee. Not exactly the middle of nowhere, but probably not where you'd expect to find one of the world's most popular video game franchises.

Team17 also have a publishing arm in Nottingham, although their HQ is in Wakefield I believe.
Sumo Digital as well although not sure if they make games in Notts - looks like they have a few locations around the UK
Nottingham is home of Dambuster Studios (former Free Radical Design Ltd. (later Crytek UK Limited)).
Runescape was also operated from the house of the founders parents in Nottingham before they got their offices, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2003/dec/11/games.onl...
