The company (King) that made Candy Crush was acquired by Activision for $5.9 billion while Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney for only $4 billion.

Activision Blizzard has completed the purchase of King Digital Entertainment, the makers of Candy Crush Saga, for $5.9 billion. Bobby Kotick, Activision's chief executive, said the company now reaches more than 500 million users "Making us the largest game network in the world". The deal comes more than a year after King launched "The worst large IPO of the last 20 years", as described by its chief operating officer Stephane Kurgan in his appearance at WIRED 2015.


In November Kotick emphasised that the deal would broaden Activision's player base, with 60 percent of King's gamers being female and none requiring special hardware to play their games.



No, it isn't a one hit company, he added: Farm Heroes, one of King's lesser known games, is bigger than most gaming companies, Kurgan said. King.com's 2014 IPO was the largest ever for a European tech company. Activision will launch the next instalment of its biggest adult games franchise Call of Duty later this week. Call of Duty: Black Ops III will combine the rock-solid multiplayer of past games with a new campaign and magic-like special movies.
