A stake in it? Tencent basically bought SuperCell outright(84%) for $8.6 billion dollars.
"Tencent has announced that it has acquired a majority ownership of Supercell, the massively profitable Finnish firm behind hit game Clash Of Clans, for around $8.6 billion.Tencent has been rumored to be close to a deal to buy the shares from SoftBank for the past month or so, and today it confirmed that it is acquiring 84 percent of Supercell. The remaining shares will continue to be held by Supercell’s staff, while SoftBank is parting with all of its stake. The transaction values Supercell at around $10.2 billion." - https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/21/te...bank-for-8-6b/
My son laughed when I told him what is happening. He said; 1. This is what Chinese Game makers do with games (specials events and discounts), and 2. CoC is dying.
My son focuses on coding and the game engines companies use, not the actual game play, so he wasn't surprised at all by what is happening since Tencent took over.
My second(?) cousin is in charge of the textures and accessory graphics department at EA. They said the same thing.
I found none of this very comforting as CoC is my "escape". Has anyone else seen any info elsewhere? The silence coming from SuperCell is deafening.



Thank goodness for my ancient tablet!
