Unity CEO hopes Clash of Clans 'drops like a fly'

SAN FRANCISCO — The man in charge of one of the most popular game-creation tools in the world prefers chaos over order.

Unity chief executive officer David Helgason thinks the industry, especially on mobile, is too static. Helgason, who oversees the company that makes the Unity game-building engine (and is also the subject of acquisition talks), spoke about a variety of topics onstage at the GamesBeat 2014 conference. He explained that he isn’t happy to see the same companies, like King and Supercell, at the top of the top-grossing charts on iOS and Android month after month.
