This is exactly why I don't understand why people buy publicly traded video game stocks. Nintendo, I can understand. They're a platform company. Their ability to make money depends on overall industry trends and the ability of other companies to do the heavy lifting of outputting hits. Although even they're a bit strange in that they depend a lot on a portfolio of homegrown titles.

But normal game companies? Especially casual game companies? Do people really have that much faith that Candy Crush and the like is more than a generation's flash in the pan like Tetris, Pogs, or Tamagotchis?
