Supercell, the parent company behind hit games like Clash of Clans has announced receiving a $1.5B investment from Softbank (the first wireless carrier in Japan to carry the iPhone) and GungHo, a Japanese known for its online and mobile games. Supercell's Clash of Clan game alone hit $2.4M a day this year, so it's not completely clear why they would need "investment" to start with. The official version is that this will make Supercall "more independent and in control of [its] future" as lkka Paananen would put it.
