Supercell is 60%+ owned by SoftBank already.If I was going to drop big monies on any mobile dev it would be SuperCell. King just feels like a Rovio or a Zynga.
Maybe a sign that the Call of Duty bubble is seriously about to burst.
That huge flow of money has to come from somewhere. COD might be on its last leg when it comes to being Activision's workhorse.
King's games could easily replace that revenue.

😂 core gamersMay as well purchase UBISOFT at that price - seems too much for what the brand offers.
Well Marvel was repeatedly at the brink of bankruptcy before Disney bought them.
It's more that they've spent five years face planting on mobile and have to do the "growth at any cost" approach Kotick kept making fun of EA for.
That said, King has show longer term resilience, so their investors should be happy.
What happened to Blast Furnace or whatever the studio was that developed the Pitfall endless runner?

It's actually kind of weird that Activision DIDN'T have more mobile stuff when you consider just how many major IPs with mass recognition they have. Call of Duty, Destiny, Skylanders, and especially everything Blizzard, etc.
But that's still an insane amount of money. Almost 3 times the amount that Microsoft payed for Minecraft. Almost 70% of what Disney payed for Star Wars. Almost SIX TIMES the amount that Google payed for Youtube.
Bobby kept talking about how it wasn't worth investing in until games in the market were making $1+ billion a year or whatever, and then when they did, they were way too late to break into the market despite many efforts trying.It's actually kind of weird that Activision DIDN'T have more mobile stuff when you consider just how many major IPs with mass recognition they have.

Candy Crush was probably 6 billion and just a joke and Acti was like Oh we can do that.
Activision game companies wishing they could use that money for their games, then King.
What's the problem with that?All that money for making mainstream match 3 games.
Paradise Bay is a town building game so there's a tad of variety!All that money for making mainstream match 3 games.
