That would still be and absolutely mind numbing $16.425 million per year from a silly little smartphone app. So, considering their respective rankings, hopefully you understand how a reasonable person like myself might guess Candy Crush makes a little bit less money per day than Flappy Bird, right? Maybe Candy Crush makes $40,000 a day. Admittedly, I have never played Candy Crush or Flappy Bird but I'm a fairly intelligent person who is pretty well informed when it comes to digital technology and news. As of FebruCandy Crush Saga is the sixth most popular game on Android and the 27th most popular game on iTunes. Just to re-iterate, Flappy Bird was making $50,000 a day as the number one game in the world on both iTunes and Android. Apparently the game's creator, a 29 year old developer in Vietnam, was sick of dealing with the headaches and hassle of having such an enormously popular property. It was pretty obvious that Flappy Bird had stolen the core of its game from a few competitors.
Before being shut down, Flappy Bird was the number one game on both the iTunes and Android platforms. More importantly, exactly how much money does Candy Crush generate every single day? The answer almost made me puke.Ĭandy Crush Revenues Per Day / PHILIPPE HUGUEN/AFP/Getty ImagesĪ little more than a month ago we posted an article about how the creator of a game called Flappy Bird had decided to shut down his app despite the fact that it was generating $50,000 a day in revenues. Is this the first sign of an internet bubble? Why is a one-hit-wonder App maker going public in the first place? That is the billion dollar question. As of this writing, King's market cap is hovering around $6.5 billion. In the weeks leading up to the IPO, analysts speculated that King could go public at a market cap north of $10 billion. The company, which is based in London and Ireland for tax purposes but is really Swedish in origin, raised $500 million with the public offering to support its aggressive global expansion plans. It has since recovered slightly, but is still down more than 10%. KING went public at $22.5 a share and quickly dropped 15% to $19.08. Earlier today, King Digital Entertainment, the company responsible for creating the insanely addictive mobile game Candy Crush Saga, debuted as a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ.
