  @PBanderski @ThomBrady5 And Candy Crush isn’t the problem. It’s mass migration. It’s well known that diversity of a populace reduces birth rate. His Koch Brithers benefactors always wanted more of it and more open borders. He’s full of ****.

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  Zohran’s admin has done zilch for my neighborhood. Public services are the same: buses are slow/infrequent, park issues not fixed, trash everywhere, cops play candy crush, poor and homeless people remain unhelped. If you think these PR stunts matter, you are truly a muppet.

  @thomaslhorrocks It’s both, my good sir. Candy Crush is just shorthand for the problem he means to indicate, and I think you know that. But that’s a micro reason. One macro reason is what you correctly mention: It’s much harder to afford early-20C domesticity than Boomers would like to believe.

  Makes sense — it's not much better on the consumer side either. Windows keeps "fixing" the wrong things: Windows 8: ugly design → backlash. Windows 10: fixed it → everyone happy. Logical next step for Windows 11? Fix bugs. Cut bloat. Speed it up. What did Microsoft do instead? Redesigned it all over again. 🙃 The actual to-do list sat there, untouched: • Start menu — stripped down, centered by default, less customizable than 2015's version • Ads — built into the Start menu and lock screen. A $2,000 laptop that also sells you Candy Crush. • Copilot — wedged into every corner, nobody asked • TPM 2.0 — legit security call. But ditching old hardware was the perfect excuse to also ditch the legacy code behind it and ship something leaner. Instead: more bloat, and a higher entry price. Somehow this counts as "innovation."

  @LateNightCandi_ They get these darn data sets that show all these female gamers but don't know its mostly Candy Crush and Bejeweled. This female tsunami of girl bosses in games is going to really help collapse a lot of AAA and Government funded devs. And Sony is having a real tough time. They keep doing this. Whats worse is these radicals pushing this in studios are unable to self-reflect and admit a mistake. Always blame anything but the real problem.

  @Luseraphiel @tajbanis @BleuSpheres I think the problem is that we call very disparate things "games". At least I'd separate gamey games and cinematic experiences (CinEx anyone?). I even have my doubts if Candy Crush (the original, from the web portal) should be in the same category as Candy Crush Saga (MTX-based).

  For all but four years of my life I have lived without a personal computer. In college, I used the computer labs… it was wonderful, in comparison to later experiences, to have pals nearby suffering like you were. My first computer was an Apple laptop. I had never used Apple before. It sat on a quilt I was using as a table cover for three years while the credit card they had advertised for its “affordability” accrued interest so fast that I ultimately paid three times the original price. I only used it to check email haha (it turned out that, indeed, reality television and a full time job were enough and back then Survivor was it…I looked forward all week to the next episode.) I sold that laptop in a Panera for $600. Not bad for used, but barely. My second computer was a gift from a well off would-be boyfriend who thought a huge touch screen Lenovo was the right guess. I used it to conquer Candy Crush while listening to Obama lecture from the t. v. in the adjacent room. Then, out of nowhere, this monster computer/monitor combo went dark. I knew nothing about computers, I was a chemical engineering turned English major: I had avoided computers like the plague. (It dawns on me now how my first memory of computers was in about the second or third grade where I won an award for a paragraph I wrote on a computer screen detailing my plans to sell the most school candy bars that year and win a bike. Maybe it wasn’t for my writing ability, after all??) So, the Lenovo died and I couldn’t fix it or replace it…. It’s ok, I felt I had thoroughly whooped both candy crush and candy soda crush and that must be it,so I went out back to dig in the dirt.

  @conrat4567 Using the term “non gamers” in your own tweet sort of helps make the point that attitudes have not really shifted that much. Which is half the problem. Someone can play Candy Crush every day on their commute and will still say ‘oh my know I’m not one of *those* people’.

  If you're being disruptive, that's a loud music and inconsiderate ******* problem, not a video game problem. Just, wear ******* headphones. But the only people who don't do that are literally boomers. The amount of unmuted Candy Crush I've heard from women pushing 70 is absurd.

  To cite Candy Crush and not lack of proper maternity leave, unaffordable childcare expenses, a broken healthcare system, as the reason young women are deciding not to have babies, is infinitely insulting. @BenSasse

  @not__vee To be fair cowgirls exist. 🐮 Games can be hobby for both males and females. That's fine. Problem is trying to make all the games for both. That doesn't work because women want to play dress-up games and candy crush, while men want to crush enemies and have a cute Khajiit wife.

  @CREID2852 @Empty_America Candy Crush is played a few hours a day, a huge chunk of the players way past fertility. What our society does, keep trying the same stupid solutions is the very definition of insanity. The reality is, there is not fix and we don't need one.

  @UmberHouse @Sir_Dammed Yes, *I* make it a quality issue. The whole problem, at its core, is a quality issue. Anyone can eat cheap fast food, that doesn't make everyone a gourmet. Just like anyone can play candy crush and that doesn't make them gamers

  @Sir_Dammed The big issue is how the demographics of games like Candy Crush is used to torture statistics and give companies misleading data. There is no amount of gay race feminism that will get Candy Crush moms to play Call of Duty.

  People need to quit strawmanning this. The dude didn't say "if we get rid of candy crush the birthrate will explode exponentially." Now ,there are probably a myriad of reasons why you can't afford a studio apartment off your college degree and your parents could afford a house off of your non-educated dad's income. Part of that is probably because of the racket the government has turned higher education into. Your dad may have had more marketable skills despite his lack of educational affluence. It's possible to call attention to the problems of being distracted by cell phones and recognize structural economic issues at the same time. But it's also worth noting that the solutions to these structural economic issues often aren't what a lot of people think they are.

  @GregChase @Noahpinion Re: the Ben Sasse "Candy Crush" clip that's going viral To the extent that people have become distracted from the important things in life by "little dopamine hits," I would put BBM and BrickBreaker in that category -- but the problem seems much more acute now
