So, this is pretty crazy.
Activision Blizzard just announced that they have acquired the mobile games studio King. You know, the makers of Candy Crush. Why - I don't get.
Well, King has 500 million monthly active users, so I guess it makes sense.
But kinda odd for a hardcore PC / Console publisher to go into mobile like this. What a hefty price to pay
Quote:
“The combined revenues and profits solidify our position as the largest, most profitable standalone company in interactive entertainment. With a combined global network of more than half a billion monthly active users, our potential to reach audiences around the world on the device of their choosing enables us to deliver great games to even bigger audiences than ever before.”, Activision Blizzard CEO, Bobby Kotick said in a press release.
