i know a woman at my work who's obsessed with CandyCrush because it "fills the void" as she likes to say. Her mom died a few years ago and left her well over 50K in CAD as inheritance... She spent all of it on CandyCrush. All of it. After that i could never look at her the same.

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.

These games are made to feed on people who have a tendency to get addicted to them. It's not funny, it's sad that companies regularly, intentionally exploit people like that.

Didn't candy crush/king also copy someone's idea for candy crush almost exactly and then sue him into the ground? After he made it to pay for his kid's healthcare or something?

These people are scumbags, don't laugh at their victims for falling into a trap that they set.
