Background
King.com Limited, trading as King and also known as King Digital Entertainment, is a video game developer and publisher based in St. Julian's, Malta that specialises in social games.

King was acquired by Activision Blizzard in February 2016 for US$5.9 billion, and operates as its own entity within that company. King is led by Riccardo Zacconi, who has served in the role of chief executive officer since co-founding the company in 2003. Gerhard Florin took over Melvyn Morris's role as chairman in November 2014. As of 2017, King employs 2,000 people.
