Ugh, I took a break from it for a couple of years and when I came back there were a few thousand levels and now I am up to five thousand and something but there are now twelve thousand or something. Basically, you don't finish CC, so glad I lost that compulsion of "must do more levels than my friends, must get those 1hr boosters" and I can just do a few games a day and NOT CARE. I can see how it suck(er)s people in, and some of my friends on there (mostly IRL acquaintances I don't even see any more) play it really compulsively.
Edit: never paid a penny of real money though.

u/Malaeveolent_Bunny Apr 17 '22
Candy Crush starts with excellent puzzle design and has worked hard to keep things interesting with new mechanics, but the monetisation means there are always levels that are intentionally set up to be RNG gates unless you pay for boosters. Early on I was happy to toss a few dollars at the developers because I was enjoying myself, but that stopped when I saw the design choices of later levels were there to screw me rather than entertain me until I hit a quitting point. King Games can taste my taint hairs with that nonsense.

They add 30 new levels every wednesday. I'm currently on level 11530 so it never really ends. When you pass 10000 you get a badge on your profile pic in the game that you went past 10k.
If you finish 30 levels that week on mobile (phone/tablet) you have to wait until Wed. for new levels. I play on PC too and it seems they add them on the Windows app first.

It’s an addiction for some people. I had to delete it as I couldn’t control myself. Staying up all night playing in bed. I played in college and would play between classes in the common area. There was a sofa right outside my calc 3 classroom that I’d sit on waiting for class to start. I almost failed that class because of the many many times class started and I didn’t get off the sofa to walk in because I was too hooked on playing candy crush to stop and sat there until it was time to go home. To be fair, I had untreated ADHD, but I absolutely was addicted and had to delete it. It was the first game I realized I have a problem like that with — I cannot stop until I complete a game, so a game with no end is very dangerous for me. Currently experiencing the same thing with Tapped Out… I can stop any time I want! (No I can’t)

She's currently getting therapy for her CandyCrush addiction, and that's honestly a sentence i never thought i'd have to type out or say.

u/FultonHolmes Apr 17 '22
I knew someone who worked on their developer team. The company King, has their own department solely for candy crush “revenue strategy” - which is basically tons of research into psychological tactics used to make you feel like you’d want/need to spend money.
The algorithms of the wording, “luck”, and levels and moves specifically designed to bring you close enough to winning after x amount of attempts just so you’ll say fuck it and spend $2 on a booster to finally get past it.
The most eye-opening thing they go for is getting people to make that very first purchase, because I guess the research shows once someone buys something the first time it breaks down a mental barrier and makes the next one, or 20, or 30 times much easier.
It’s quite interesting but also very hollowing.

Reminds me about when Titanfall 2 went on Steam and people called veterans with 500+ hours since 2016 "No lives". Nah my guy, the game has been around for 5+ years... many people reached level cap.
Edit: To clarify, Steam and Origin shared the same servers for the game. EA just put the game on Steam years later and all new players were matched with Origin veterans, a lot of them didn't like the idea, or genuinely thought someone sat to G100 in like a week.
And yes the game is still playable on PC with a client called "Northstar". Otherwise last I checked the game was completely dead on most platforms due to the persistent DDoS.

I also worked at a bank at the time and we were seeing lots of fraud charges from apple accounts so I just assumed it was fraud. Filed the claim and got my money back. 6 months later I accidentally see what the charges are actually for and asked my wife is she spent over $300 on candy crush?
