Controlling interest in Supercell being sold.

Interesting news a couple of weeks ago. Just saw it. Wonder what changes will come for the users?

On [October 15], Japan's SoftBank Corp. agreed to buy 51% of the Finnish company, which has two games and just 130 employees, for $1.5 billion. It is the largest ever investment for a mobile-app company, according to Rutberg & Co. Two of Supercell's co-founders stand to make more than $200 million apiece.

About 10% of Supercell users purchase in-game extras, much higher than the industry norm. Last year, the company made a profit of more than 40 cents on every $1 of goods it sold, or $40.3 million on sales of $105 million.

I LOVE our Finnish friends. I can't blame them for this business move, but holy COW I hope this doesn't change things.

japanese farm :).

I'm not complaining, whenever I see a japanese farm name, I jump on it. Low level sell 'EM and dairy/sugar. The next target seems to be asian market.

I don't think it will change things. SC will still remain Finnish company and pay their taxes to Finland. That sale was really big news here. It was all over in news and SC CEO was in every tv show tallking about it.
