That being said, I don't see greed as a motivation of theirs. Profit, sure, but not greed. There is nothing in the game which can be acquired with gems that can not be had without gems.
They make decisions smartly, and they are slow to make drastic changes, but at the same time they are willing to make fundamental changes that are better for the game in the long term, even if it means a momentary drop in revenue.
If you read/watch interviews with them you can tell that they are passionate about making games. The revenue comes as a by-product. If you make the game great, the money will come on its own.
I look at Super Cell very much in the same way I look at Apple. Guess what... Love them or hate them, they're both here to stay, which is not to say that they're incapable of making mistakes, but they're willing to do what it takes to keep their games healthy.
