Candy-crush

King Digital Entertainment, maker of the popular game Candy Crush Saga, has filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to go public.

The company's Form F-1 Registration shows the company posted a profit of $567.6 million on revenues of $1.89 billion last year. Some 78% of revenues came from one game, Candy Crush Saga, which now has 93 million daily active users and more than 1 billion daily active game plays. King doesn't charge to download Candy Crush Saga, but instead makes money off of users who buy "virtual power ups" to improve their game.
