Activision Blizzard has just give $5.9 billion!! to King Digital Entertainment that make the game “Candy Crush”

Disney paid almost like $4 billion on Lucasfilm in 2012, well looks like our favorite Star Wars is worth less money than a candy crushing game!!. According to the reports King reported annual revenue of $1.9 billion and profit of $568 million last year. If you think about this number Activision did a good investment, Activision will surely take the game experience one step forward with their experience. We are assuming next year King will be operated fully under the control of the company.

We know most of you think how this simple game earn this amount of money! Well thanks to IOS and android they do. I am sure many app developers are going crazy about the idea of selling an app for this amount of money.
