Clash of Clans dev made a lot of money last year

Clash of Clans and Hay Day developer, Supercell, decided to let everyone know just how much money its two mobile games made last year, spoiler alert- it's a lot. 2013 scored the Finnish developer $892 million in revenue which has led to work on a new title due to release as soon as next month.

The leap in revenue took the company up from $101 million in 2012, the truly amazing part is that on average, Supercell was making $2.4 million a day last year. Back in October, Supercell's founder sold a 51% share of the company to Japanese tech and telecoms group, SoftBank Corp, for 150 billion yen making it 3 billion yen more valuable than Farmville maker, Zynga.

The third game will be called ‘Boom Beach', a fighting game due to release in March with more plans to follow. According to Chief Executive, Ilkka Paananen, “There's a roadmap of three, four years of ideas,”. These ideas won't include Windows phone though as the company apparently has no plans to start making games for the platform, that said, Supercell only started bringing its games to Android last year.

KitGuru Says: Games like Clash of Clans can be fun little time wasters as long as you don't succumb to the micro-transactions the game offers.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
