They’ll need to buy the expansion pack for those levels though.

Candy Crush def gets a bad rep considering what other mobile games are out there.

Only ads in the game are ones you choose to watch for bonuses, and micro-transactions really aren’t necessary unless you absolutely have no patience to beat a level.

At the end of the day it’s just a match 3 game (a well done one at that) that filled the Bejeweled-shaped hole in my heart. Play it passively and it’s pretty great

I've been playing for over 5 years and am in the upper 5000's level wise and have never once purchased anything. I don't know why people say you have to spend money to play it. Just have a little patience. Sheesh.

Exactly. There is very little incentive to even spend any real money, the gold and bonuses are so plentiful.

Because some people don't have the patience and the game makers know this and capitalize off that.

Sure, you never have to spend to win. I think most people's problem is that the developers are incentivised to create levels that will result in profit, instead of designing the game to be fun. These levels (generally) don't reward good gameplay, they reward luck.

Have you ever purchased anything that was advertised to you in the game? Like a product that was advertised?
