I know they've published a number of top 50 apps, but I'm curious as to what cost.
What's the difference between a 'maker' and a 'publisher'? Anyone else confused?
Same thing, except for games.
Rovio is the maker of Angry Birds. They have NOT been acquired. Chillingo is the publisher of multiple iOS games. They were acquired. Rovio is most likely worth much more than $20m at this point.

What's the difference between a book writer and a book publisher? Same thing, except for games.
The book writer creates the book. For an iPhone App that's the same as the game developer/development studio. Ok, got that.
The book publisher physically creates the finished product and distributes it wholesale. That's totally different to the world of iPhone apps/phone apps. The developer creates the finished product (the binary) not the publisher and there is no wholesale distribution, as you can only sell it through one place - the iTunes App Store.
So, your answer kind of makes no sense and doesn't move the conversation forward.
essentially it's a crash the castle type of game which are a dime a dozen...but by branding themselves they managed to get the success they've got
angry birds shows the importance of branding. essentially it's a crash the castle type of game which are a dime a dozen...but by branding themselves they managed to get the success they've got
Half Life 2 is just another first person shooter, they're a dime a dozen. Doesn't mean it was easy to make.
If other acquisitions are any indication, there will be only one or two Chillingo people remaining at EA in two years.
