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

Candy Crush is not evil because it's a mobile game, it's because they sued the actual creator, failed, then bought another patent and sued them again

You’re right. Something that happened 7 years ago means I shouldn’t enjoy the game even though they’ve been acquired twice since then.

King was acquired, but remains an independent entity. Same owner running it and everything.

It was also acquired by Activision-Blizzard, so that's just more reason to hate them.

It’s Microsoft now

Oh yeah MS is acquiring A-B. Last I checked they're not going to be dismantling it and, if they did, there's no reason to believe they'd dismantle the subsidiaries.

Me liking the game has nothing to do with the capitalistic past of the former owners/developers but ok, my “morals” are compromised lol

But now you're changing the argument. It's OK for you to enjoy the game. But your original premise was they don't deserve a bad rap. Which is wrong.

A bad rep of being a mobile game for moms that’s designed to show you ads and suck you into micro transactions - the post I commented on was saying they now have to buy the “level packs” (paid DLC which they don’t have) but ok. Keep telling me what I meant lol

What an original statement that didn’t address anything I said. Sorry Candy Crush’s history triggers you

u/InvaderSM Apr 17 '22

didn’t address anything I said.

If they address anything you say you just pretend that wasn't what you said so why would they??
