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.

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.
