King sets sight for $7.6 billion IPO

3.9
King, the outfit behind Candy Crush Saga, is queued to launch on the NYSE on March 26th with a expected value of upwards to $7.6 billion. The published recorded revenues of 160 million in 2012 to a astounding $1.9 billion just one year later, the company is hoping to start trading at £21-$24 per share. King delayed their IPO last year in order to assure their investors that they were more than just Candy Crush.

Do you think King will succeed where Zygna failed and become more than a one trick pony?

King should be taken down. Proof popped up on Reddit that a guy that made a Candy Crush-style game was ripped off by King and he tried to fight them but ended up losing the case significantly. This story hasn't even been able to surface onto the web, and for it to go unnoticed bugs the h*ll out of me.
