Even if Disney hadn’t bought them, Club Penguin wouldn’t be in this list. Club Penguin is not based in Vancouver, but Kelowna, a town 200 miles away.

I’m surprised you didn’t include Next Level Games. They’ve been in steady business for the past 7 years and have released titles like Punch out for Wii.
