It's quite scary to see so many names I've never even heard about before, and then to see some names that clearly make no sense also there.

Let's face it, for instance, Avast? Seriously who came up with that insane valuation for a company like Avast?

AFAIK Avast is betting on monetizing anti-virus usage data.

I wonder why Mojang is not on the list, though.

Either "Games aren't real software", "If it's not in the US, we mostly don't care" or "Real Unicorns take VC and get acquired by Facebook, Microsoft acquisitions don't count".

Pick your poison.

Garena is on the list, and they are in the gaming industry.
