Lots of British game companies. You can find world class game development studios scattered more or less at random throughout the UK landscape.

Might work better in the UK than the USA. Average fishing town in the UK is closer to a big city than the average fishing town in the USA.

I think it works for industries where things are tightly project based with sizable periods of downtime. It is a cliche in the music industry to have a studio in the middle of nowhere in which to try and focus, and I don't see why this couldn't work elsewhere. There is also no reason not to have an in-town office and a larger out of town campus. Might even work out cheaper than an in-town office big enough for everybody.
