Go on then I admit to have been a bit of a Candy Crush addict in the past once the kids got me hooked. Then common sense kicks in and you realise it's a meaningless pursuit. Meaningless that is unless you own the company... ===================================================== Activision Blizzard to buy 'Candy Crush' maker King for $5.9 billion Video game maker Activision Blizzard Inc (ATVI.O) said it will buy "Candy Crush Saga" creator King Digital Entertainment (KING.N) for $5.9 billion to strengthen its mobile games portfolio. ABS Partners CV, a unit of Activision Blizzard, will acquire King shares for $18 each in cash, representing a premium of 16 percent to King's closing price on Monday. The addition of King's mobile games will position Activision as a global leader in interactive entertainment across mobile, console and PC platforms, Activision said in a statement. www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/03/us-king-digital-m-a-activision-idUSKCN0SS07Z20151103
