Candy Crush to be taken over by Blizzard!

[Pawnless Endgame]

Is Candy Crush still that profitable and if it is, for how long? It seems like it may have been bought at the wrong end of its life cycle.

I think it has died a death on mobile handsets (gone the same way as Angry Birds), but I guess Blizz will revive it as a PC / browser game? I understand that Facebook is a platform for games as I heard that Bejeweled was once on there. Then it was all about Farmville.

Talking of Farmville, I'm pretty sure that Blizz incorporated a farming sim into WoW, so maybe they'll shoe-horn Candy Crush into WoW too lol

YReminds me of the time Telefonica bought Lycos for something like $12 billion. They sold it four years later to a South Korean company for $95 million.
