Corporation buys a popular League of Legends app for $55 million—it's made by one guy

Teemo from Legends of Runeterra

Anyone with a more-than-casual interest in League of Legends almost surely knows about Porofessor and League of Graphs. The sites are indispensable tools for the passionate player, stats aggregators that show who's winning what, when, where, and with which League champion. What those League-heads might not know was that the two sites, and their associated Legends of Runeterra and Teamfight Tactics versions, were made by one person as the company Wargraphs. That person has now sold the company for a pretty nice paycheck.

The deal was for €50 million, about US $54.6 million at today's rate. It's probably a steal for Wargraphs' Porofessor and League of Graphs, which have some 10 million downloads and 1.25 million daily average users, while the websites have about 4.5 billion page views since their launch. It had a healthy income of about €12.3 million in the fiscal period ending November 30th, 2022.
