A quick scan of some eye-popping numbers: Last year King generated profits of $568 million on revenues of $1.88 billion. That’s up from just $617,000 and $64 million, respectively, in 2011.

And almost all of that growth comes from one game: King launched Candy Crush in the summer of 2012, and the game now generates 78 percent of its revenues. The game has a staggering 93 million people playing it ever day....

derp...

Zynga is calling, they want their bubble back.

I cannot understand how someone could spend money on something like this. I've played CCS and I'm well through the last levels and have never, ever used fucking money to play this.

Are people really that mentally weak?

wow, the revenue is quite something for discuss ... cant believe it ... $$$$

That game is frsutatingly cheap. in fact its rigged to fail  if yo don't spend moeny on it. if you play for freee, yo are guarantee tofail a level a lot fo time before progressing but if you pay money you get a selction of these powerups which kmakes the game a bit more fun and fair lol. Don't forget some don't have patience liek yo have ,, they rather pay for it and finish it as quickly as possible

He needs another dollar to keep playing.

Yes, it's totally rigged. They should open the code for an investigation, as it's quite obvious and there's millions involved, making it a big fraud. Much like the card dealing at pokerstars or so.

But someone's paying big money to keep the authorities quiet. Looking at the revenues a bribe of a couple ten grands is nothing.

You are witnessing the death of gaming right here.

neh... companies like capcom, SE, THQ are dying just fine without mobile games with their bloated budgets.. if anything a few games from them like these should save "core" gaming.. the core market is just not that big to support all the developers and publishers and their AAA games

That is some crazy growth. Too bad it won't last.
