How does King make its games? Is there a single creative Genius that comes up with everything, like a Sid Meijer or Peter Molyneux kinda person? I would love to know how they operate.

Their games tend to mostly be iterations (or clones if you're cynical) of tries and true successful games that came before and were already proven in the market.

From what I've seen advertised and pop up on facebook etc. Their latest game 'farm heroes saga' screenshots look like 'candy crush saga' but your matching animals instead of candy. I haven't actually played either game so I can't actually state anything in terms of the gameplay.

If history's any guide, they clone existing games.

There is no creativity involved in their process whatsoever.
