That is more than Disney paid for lucasfilm (4bil).

because they are things that capture large percentages of the user base. Like candy crush, every single kid at school played it, or their friends played it and showed it to them to play once. They in turn get their parents to play it, the only age group it misses is altimers patients. Instagram was basically the next generation of twitter.
each person might only add pennys to the company, but there's just so many people using it that they make crazy cash

Facebook bought Oculus Rift (Virtual Reality company) for 2 billion in 2014, and the company still does not have a product actually on market yet.
Need to come up with my own brilliant idea to sell.

I've never played candy crush. I assume it tricks kids into charging thousands of dollars to their parents accounts
