And the company that made Candy Crush was bought for just under $6 billion, so I've definitely accepted the fact that I don't know how any of this works.

The game pulled in 1-1.2 billion annual revenues. 6 billion is super reasonable considering the game likely has high margins.

I don’t think anybody is questioning that it has made that much, as much as they are trying to question how the hell something so simple and useless can be worth so much money

Because an investment is judged by how quickly someone can get a return on their investment. Candy crush made 1.2 billion this year alone and is still growing. It turned out to be a great investment as they investment has paid back well over 6 billion.

I could sell a literal piece of shit but if ppl are willing to pay $100 for it, then thats how much its worth.

Nah I get it, I just can’t put myself in the minds of the people who contributed in 2022 to making candy crush 1.2 billion dollars.

It lost my interest after about a day or two over a decade ago. It’s wild that people are still shelling this ridiculous amount of cash out to a game that is basically identical to a multitude of free alternatives
