Candy Crush makes more money than COD.

No idea it was that big.

Yeah, common mistake.

King is MASSIVE.

By Revenue, larger than Blizzard, only 21% behind Activision.
By Profit, larger than Blizzard, only 20% behind Activision.

But as I said above.

Diablo Mobile doesn't come under King, it comes under Blizzard.
CoD Mobile doesn't come under King, it comes under Activision.

They're both huge mobile titles, so if we're talking "Mobile" alone, Mobile is probably Activision-Blizzard-King's biggest segment.

This is a better example because it's the entire FY.

It also includes the timeframe of Modern Warfare 2's launch, Lol.

This was funny.

FTC: So this ABK deal would take you out of the thirdplace in the market right?

Phil Spencer: That is not our goal no, we want to expand into mobile.

FTC: So it's a write-off?

Phil: ...?

FTC: Your business is a write-off?

Phil: I don't get what you're saying.

FTC: Let's…

FTC's own witness saying that Stadia competed with PlayStation and Xbox is a fucking facepalm.

There goes the "Cloud Market" argument, it's not a separate market if it competes with fucking consoles, Lol.

Yeah, I was confused when he said Stadia competed with PS and Xbox. I was like.... so if that's the case there is no monopoly or whatever with Xcloud. Pretty sure he said Stadia competed with Steam and Epic too, didn't he?

I've also heard from a couple of sources that one of the reasons a deal to sign Starfield as a PS5 console exclusive didn't pan out — or rather, wasn't reached before Microsoft reached a deal to buy ZeniMax Media — was directly because of game director Todd Howard, who wasn't keen on the game having PS5 exclusivity.
