AEGI Phoenix (@AEGI_Phoenix) reported2. Difficult Content is the worse part of Dokkan. (Remember this for future takes). Makes people enjoy a unit less (OMG they’re bad against Phy Bio-Broly? ***” Often rewards aren’t worth the effort. (Call it a skill issue, idc. It’s like calling someone bad at candy crush)

Harshad Mehta (@mehtahershey101) reported@BraedendotTECH 💯 if it's a you, me and peers problem then no it's not an us problem it's a system problem. Wetwear isn't designed for next token predictions. You need to let the ideas digest, marinate and think through it. This is just candy crush for adults. the 20yr olds will realize it soon

Mike Chong (@realMikeChong) reportedanother great Chinese invention after DeepSeek and GLM-5.2: 90-second fake billionaire divorce dramas that somehow make more money than Netflix on mobile sounds stupid until you look at the business model it’s not really “streaming” it’s TikTok + soap opera + mobile game monetization you get a crazy opening: poor girl secretly married the billionaire CEO evil stepmom humiliates her ex-boyfriend appears someone gets slapped then right before the reveal… episode ends next episode costs coins this is the important part: Chinese short dramas are not competing with HBO they’re competing with TikTok, Candy Crush, gambling loops, romance novels, and boredom the user is not thinking: “is this cinema?” they’re thinking: “wait what happens next?” that is a much stronger business than people want to admit the format exploded in China because it solved 3 problems at once: creators could produce much faster than normal film/TV platforms already had short-video traffic web-novel style storytelling already trained users to pay chapter by chapter China basically turned internet novels into vertical video vending machines and the unit economics are brutal traditional streaming: spend huge money make 8 episodes hope people subscribe wait months for feedback short drama: make cheap episodes test the hook immediately kill what doesn’t convert scale what makes people pay it’s closer to mobile gaming than Hollywood and that’s why the App Store rankings look insane you now have these short drama apps ranking above serious billion-dollar streaming platforms not because the shows are better because the loop is sharper Netflix asks for attention short dramas demand resolution big difference the other interesting part: this format is now going global ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, DramaWave, NetShort, etc. same structure, localized tropes: US market: werewolves, mafia romance, secret babies, billionaire husbands China market: revenge, family status, hidden identity, social mobility fantasy SEA/LATAM/India: localized melodrama + mobile-first payment loops this is also why AI video matters Seedance 2.0 and similar models won’t instantly create a perfect 90-minute movie wrong mental model the first real use case is much smaller: generate test scenes make fake trailers localize actors/backgrounds A/B test hooks turn scripts into animatics make ads faster produce low-budget vertical scenes cheaper short drama is one of the first entertainment categories where “AI slop” may actually be economically native because the audience is not paying for prestige they’re paying for: plot velocity emotional payoff identity fantasy cliffhanger resolution so the question is not: “can AI make cinema?” the question is: “can AI make the next 90 seconds addictive enough that someone pays 99 cents?” that is a much easier problem and probably a much bigger market than people think my take: short dramas will not replace Netflix but they will take time and spend from mobile games, romance apps, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and casual entertainment the next big entertainment company may not look like Disney it may look like a game studio running hundreds of tiny soap operas with AI-assisted production and casino-level retention math

make halloween once a year again 🏴 (@PumpkinGator) reportedI am not normally a gambler, I sometimes do lotto but usually forget, anyway, I recently went on a website to bet for Restore to win the general election and after I spent my money I had some change, about £2.50 and though I’d draw it out and buy an online lotto scratch card but I remembered I hate them and noticed there were games on the betting site like online bingo, roulette, and some candy crush looking games. Well, I like roulette, we had a toy mini table as kids and the other side was a mini snooker table. Me and my siblings spent hours in the summer holidays honing our psychic skills, trying to guess or mentally will the ball to land on a number. So I thought, why not? It’s only £2.5. I like roulette. So I clicked on the game thinking ‘how does this work is it like online scratch cards and already decided?’ and it was a real roulette table and someone spinning the ball 😮 I thought this looks like it costs money to run and there can’t be many people playing cos it’s 4pm I thought it was just me and maybe another person playing for some reason, But then after the ball lands there’s a rolling list of the account names and their wins ; some were wining small others BIG. ‘If that’s what people are winning wtf are they losing?’ And then I remembered I saw another type of roulette advertised on the site and so I went and checked and yes there must have been at least half a dozen different live roulette games happening at once, and then there were other genres; poker, horse racing, one armed bandit type games, etc That was just one website. So, anyway I’m starting to suspect the UK has a gambling problem on a scale I dread to imagine Anyway, I like Roulette, so I put my change on the roulette table won a bit and left as soon as I had doubled my money. I still got those psychic powers from my teen years training But I can’t stop thinking about what I saw; so many opportunities to gamble Should adverts for gambling be banned? For the first time I think maybe we should have food stamps style benefits for people so they are not tempted to gamble because surely some are.

tshi art (@ArtTshi) reported@_laurabee_x @johndrewmarkley The problem is that those deceptive stats benefit no one -candy crush players don't care about the "gamer" label -male gamers are upset to be lumped in with candy crush players -female gamers are upset because it groups them with the wrong demographic ("women" instead of "gamer")

Ian ☀️🌴🎥 (@ian_90211) reported@BriansBeacon @60Minutes You also have to ask people why they're not having their second or third child or whatever. In my case it was fertility issues plus health issues plus finances that made us stop at one. Oh and Candy Crush obviously.

Austin (@rw_tucker) reported@AdsoOfBelk @ByungChulHarden The dopamine/Candy Crush explanation of the problem gives the whole game away here.

Will I Am - e/acc (@SouthernWintrs) reported@photo_matt "Why did Candy Crush replace Bejeweled?" --> This is likely more of a business than an art question (though I am willing to be wrong here). I don't think making money off of art is bad. Art doesn't have to be L'shem Shamayim. I think one of the biggest problems in classical music right now is that they make their money off of grants and institutional patrons instead of from ticket, concession sales, tours, and merchandise. It warps the entire incentive structure and is the reason why modern opera is largely crap. Some of the greatest art is/was made to satisfy consumer or individual patrons. But I think there is a difference when you are pandering to lowest common denominator human (I mean be real with Candy Crush, any 3rd worlder with a phone can play it) and when your art is aimed towards people that have more of an intelligent/intellectual base.

Anju Juneja🇮🇳 (@junejamkanju) reportedCan we please come out of this candy crush campaign. We have far serious issues to discuss. All the fuel owners of this country are enjoying their luxury life and pushing the whole nation into lockdown and inflation caused by shortage and inflated rates of fuel

Florida Man (@FiftyShots) reported@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

becky goop (@neuroshmancer) reportedre asha saying "we want 1BN daily users" it's better to think like, well that's obviously not achievable with a console model, what other ways might they add to measure that? for example MS owns candy crush, /w a MS login that's thousands of daily active users from the NYPD alone

Bodega Sushi (@InshallahVato) reported@spencerpratt I’m ok with my taxes helping the working class instead of being used for NYPD lawsuits / more cops do sit around and play candy crush

Clustz News • AI | Tech | World | Gaming | More (@ClustZContact) reportedXbox just hit reset. Hard. 🎮 Microsoft is cutting ~4,800 jobs — 2.1% of its workforce. Xbox alone faces ~3,200 cuts through FY27, with 1,600 roles gone immediately. And four studios are leaving Microsoft’s gaming empire. This isn’t just “layoffs.” It’s Xbox admitting the old playbook broke. Game Pass + multi-platform + buying studios was supposed to make Xbox unavoidable. Instead, Xbox got stuck with: - lower margins - weaker console momentum - rising hardware costs - too many management layers - too many bets chasing too little return Translation? Microsoft doesn’t want to own every cool studio anymore. It wants fewer experiments, bigger franchises, cleaner execution, and businesses that actually print money. That means more focus on Minecraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty-scale IP, PC, mobile, cloud, and subscription economics that don’t bleed quietly in the background. The AI angle is subtle but important: Microsoft says these roles aren’t being replaced by AI. But AI is clearly changing where Big Tech spends money. Less headcount in slow-growth units. More capital toward AI infrastructure, cloud, automation, and high-margin software. For Xbox, the next chapter probably looks less like a console war… and more like a platform war. Xbox everywhere. Fewer studios. More discipline. More pressure on Game Pass. And maybe fewer “passion projects” unless they can scale. Bad news for nostalgia. Good news for Microsoft’s margins. Scary news for any studio that doesn’t look like a platform. Unpopular opinion: This reset was coming the moment Xbox started acting like Netflix without Netflix-level pricing power. Follow @ClustzContact for more tech stories that explain what the headline is really hiding. #Xbox #Microsoft #Layoffs

Lensar Dawn (@Lensar_dawn) reported@MR3Dev It's because dev teams are bloated with a bunch of fake girl boss jobs for non-gamers. Because so many devs now are non-gamers, they can't compete in the arena of ideas regarding design and gameplay. Cause the only game they ever played was Candy Crush. So they instead focus on every possible thing possible EXCEPT gameplay because they don't understand it. This is why we get such a push for accessibility. "Blind people aren't competitive in our racing game, how can we solve this?" Or "some people have anxiety, how do we make it easier for them to complete all the achievements, too?" These non-gaming girl bosses scour the internet looking for feedback and complaints they can champion like they're feeding the poor or saving the world. This is why we end up with 15 page options screens, because a girl boss found the one person n the world who has a specific edge case issue and so she advocated for an obscure option until real devs finally gave in to shut her up. Or maybe you're making a card game, but non-gaming girl bosses like Anita Sarkeesian demand you add a "phobia mode" for people who might be triggered by the names of certain cards. When you're trying to ship a game and you're carry 30-50% of a dev team focused on everything EXCEPT the gameplay experience itself, you can start to understand why games are so ******* expensive to make.

Pixel Operative (@PixelOperative) reportedIs this the beginning of the end for Xbox? One telling data point for me is that King and Mojang are the biggest studios at Xbox. When you think of Xbox, do you think of Minecraft and Candy Crush? I know I don't. I guess that's the problem. Studios being sold off: * Compulsion Games * Double Fine Productions * Ninja Theory * Undead Labs * Arkane appears to be closing entirely.

happy fruit (@Slippitopia) reported@KFalexthegreat @RushBaby1980 Easy to exude quiet and pensive when taxes pay for your healthcare. To so openly hate the poor and sick (and then blame the world's problems on children playing candy crush) like he does is vile.

Azure 💙🩶 (@LordazureFGC) reported@LOVETHEW0RLD What irritates me. When I was a kid, my mom would play Sonic 2. Beat it. We played other games. She beat Crash 1 - 3(100% btw). She almost beat Banjo and kazooie. Stuff happens. Now she plays "candy crush" type games. And said video games are overwhelming. Wtf do you mean!? 😭

Mike (@dillpicklemike) reported@JessicaHamel19 @MeghanEMurphy it’s better to spend 18 hours a day yelling at internet people then playing a game that has puzzles and requires problem solving. They are just jealous they suck at 99% of games besides Candy Crush

ademiji💗 (@j1s0l4_) reportedThis is such a non-issue, but I was playing candy crush the other day. I was in a challenge that I was very close to winning, and I had a timed booster, I'll lose both if I lose a level. Wasted all my hard-earned gold bars on extra moves on this stupid level
