Candy Crush is a pretty good game. Not novel, for sure, but well polished and neat.
That said, a minor success doesn't really mean you're ready for an IPO, I don't think.

Most developers including me would probably be better served by a realistic attitude such as displayed above by lowmagnet. Unfortunately, this too takes some 10+ years...
Even if they are making 850k per day, they aren't going to be making that same amount of money on the game in 1 year (because something new will have come along), so a 5 billion dollar valuation is probably about five times more than what they're worth, give or take.
