Candy Crush is a pretty good game. Not novel, for sure, but well polished and neat.
That said, a minor success doesn't really mean you're ready for an IPO, I don't think.
- lowmagnet 13y agoA minor success after 10 years of trying, no less.
- blktiger 13y agoI don't know about well polished... for example the stars are in a different color order when you beat a level than they are in the star-meter during the level.
- clarky07 13y agoWhile I agree that this doesn't seen like a great ipo candidate, how is 850k per day a "minor" success.
- debacle 13y agoThat's a rough estimate from a third-party that has little to no data. Even if they are making 850k per day, they aren't going to be making that same amount of money on the game in 1 year (because something new will have come along), so a 5 billion dollar valuation is probably about five times more than what they're worth, give or take.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoThis is one of those cases where having a 'confidential' S-1 is weird for me. Prior to opening day they have to have a 'public' S-1 so what is the big deal? Actual numbers on paper leading to a buzz kill ? I don't know. But as an investor I treat it as a negative.
