King, the company behind the addictive Candy Crush Saga, is filing a 500 million dollars initial public offering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
But the question is can the hugely profitable but fickle new smartphone-game be sustained?
According to the Verge, the game has a vast audience of 128 million daily active users and over 1.2 billion games being played every day, but Candy Crush Saga accounts for 93 million of those daily users and 1.085 billion of those games.
But it's a one-game company, and that one game might be losing players rather quickly.
The company, having been in operation since 2003, believes it has a 'repeatable and scalable game development process' that will keep it growing for years to come, the report said.
