What industry slowdown?

PopCap Games, the creators of the XBLA titles, Zuma, Bejewelled 2, and the upcomming Astropop are growing the team once again. In an industry that seems to be all news about layoffs and the like, it’s certainly good to see one of the Arcade developers doing so well.
This article at gameindustry.biz has a few great tidbits about the growth. My favorite being that PopCap has grown from three employees in 2000 to an expected 70 or so in the next 12 months.
