Kabam drops web games, PlayRaven has $7M to reimagine F2P, and Clash of Clans will do $1.8B in 2014

We're coming to the end of 2014, and at PocketGamer.biz, our thoughts are turning to analysis of the year's events, the best games, and future trends.

But we're not there quite yet.

This week saw video gameplay sharing platform Kamcord raising $15 million from GungHo Online, Finnish developer PlayRaven raised $4.125 million, while Qualcomm invested into Chinese outfir Chukong.

Aside from cash, we considered the power of CCGs in the Chinese market, looked back at the making of Stoic's The Banner Saga and in the week Kabam sold off the majority of its web games to focus purely on mobile, we spoke to Kabam about its new game Marvel: Contest of Champions
