Oh, King will be fine...

the folks who bought stock before it opened will be panicking, but King will be fine...

once it's stock stops falling, which might not happen until it hits a hundredth of its opening price, but King will be fine...

until it fails to produce something equivalent to the game that made it one and a half billion dollars last year, which will cause investors to flee and the whole mess to collapse...

then King will not be fine.

And we will all giggle.

Burn. Just burn burn burn. Keep burning, and I will stand here and watch the pretty light show with marshmallows and a big smile on my face.

Even better, I found a ten hour version:


Sweet, sweet justice. Hopefully this is just the beginning.
That's all I came in here to post. Since my work has been done for me, here have a quote.


Captcha: Moot Point.

Shhh they'll know.

Second post in a row where I get a chance to use this:

"CAN YOU FEEL ZE SCHADENFREUDE?"
Time for King to trademark the words "stock market disaster." Come on, you know you want to...

So King is going the route of Zynga while the stock market speculators are getting burnt. This is going to be a goood day indeed.

I really hope that they crash and burn, there destruction would serve as a great warning for other companies not to be assholes.

I prefer the full account of Joker laughing, myself.

OT: Hmmm... Shitty practices and shitty business lead to shitty stock reports. Do I sense a pattern here? My god, could it mean that...being an asshole in the business world has CONSEQUENCES?! Perish the thought! (Or, more relevently, time for me to laugh maniacally at this, the King of Fools.)

Didn't, at some point, King say their company was worth 6 billion? Or some figure like that, prior to launching the IPO?

I know this sentiment has been echoed already, but seriously:



King and companies like them are a cancer on this industry and I hope they join the likes of Zynga in irrelevance. They deserve it.

As happy as I am to see them hurt, it's worth noting that the stock market in general isn't doing well right now. There's a good chance this has nothing to do with them, and just reflects bad IPO timing.

For a company who's biggest success involves a "Crush", they shouldn't be surprised to have a "Crash" on the stock market.

I'm gonna put my catharsis on hold for a moment.

Let's be honest here, this isn't King getting some great and righteous comeuppance. This is just aggressive trolls getting into a fight with other, more aggressive trolls and losing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it, but more in a "serves them right" kinda way than a "justice is served" kinda way.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a parody flash game with that name, if it hasn't happened already.

*quick check* At the time of this post, their stock currently sits at $18.70.
This freight train seems to still have some downward momentum...
