I mean there are a ton of famous companies, Ubisoft, Supercell, Rareware, Rovio, ZA/UM, Mercury Steam, the guys that made the Game Genie, etc. but idk any individual devs that are that recognizable. Off the top of my head are Hempuli (Baba is You) and Robert Kurvitz (Disco Elysium) but they're not like, household names.

Oh and Yves Guillemot but he's just a CEO, not like an actual developer.

Notch! Markus Persson! He's from Norway and also the most famous indie dev of all time!

Yeah, Jeb's the runner up, definitely the most well-known non-racist European dev.

Off the top of my head the only Rare guy I can name is Grant Kirkhope and he's just a musician.

They made the games that are heavily referenced in peak (Donkey Kong: Bananza) so y'know that's worth something.
