With games like Boom Beach and Clash of Clans, Supercell brought in around $2.4 billion in 2015. For the Finland-based company this is a $6.5 million in profit a day. Softbank seems to be selling their stake at a valuation of $9 billion USD.
For gamers out there, you shouldn’t worry about any specific changes happening due to unneeded meddling. Tencent’s current investments include a wide range of mobile and computer games, from celebrity smartphone games to League of Legends. Apart from that, it is important to keep in mind that this isn’t a hostile take-over as we have seen with Ubisoft and Vivendi, but instead is just a $7.5 billion dollar profit for the people who own a stake in Supercell.
