  An anon post rexosted by BAP and other anons just got taken down for “violating the rules” when it was calling Ben Sasse totally out of touch for saying “candy crush is the problem” ending with “kill yourself” It wasn’t even his account, it was a 60 minutes clip, we can’t even use edgy quips to express frustration anymore New regime same as old regime (except the new ones rules are arbitrary)

  @acolombiadev when i hired for hbo, many candidates had used only netflix. i see no problem. when i hired for candy crush, i never cared if they played it as long as they could bring examples of other games. nowadays, working with HSMs, i am happy if someone knows what it is.

  @MiaAI_lab I have been long time arguing that we are approaching situation where most of the models, including the best local models, are good enough for most tasks. As the models improve in agentic usage & coding it will be increasingly more more expensive & difficult to test them. They will all do pretty good Tetris, Flappy Birds or Candy Crush Saga clone etc. I feel guilt that I have been testing Ainiux more or less just ad hoc there and there. My recent 6 different tests on a multi-million lines of code base is not enough. I would need to do hundreds of tests like that, but that would consume far more time and token credits that I have. While theoretically a solo developer can create something very large and complex, he/she will not likely have the resources to test and finetune it as much the big best funded labs have. This means the leading AI development will remain to capital intensive. Those who have capital will have a massive advantage. They can deploy swarm of tens of thousands of AI agents to do the work for them - those working in loop graph testing, verifying, benchmarking and improving each other's work. I feel we are soon at this stage they will start self-improving, assuming you have these kind of resources. I'm afraid nobody here in Europe has.

  @CandyCrushSaga my problem with y’all is that this “RNG” in y’all’s game is so fake. When I have the gold bars, I never am in a good position at the end of the level to spend them, but the moment I don’t? I end the game with 5 color bombs, wrapped, striped candy, etc. Fix that

  @MrColllie92 I think the problem with gacha games is once people heard that.. They think of it as mobile and when that happen they'll think candy crush which is retarded... But they'll happily pay for shark card for gta, or pulling card on any sports game by EA

  @JohnnyGaming9 @khaliltooshort Yeah this isnt true because men and women play different genres entirely which is where the issues in making games are. Also, this stat likely includes mobile gaming which is a joke. The stats need to show how many people console and apC game. Not mobile. Every phone had candy crush on it for example. That doesnt mean upu are a gamer.

  @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.

  You remember when Facebook was the go-to social media for gacha games back then? It's because that social media site had one huge selling point; It was the only social media that let you save your progress across devices. Say for example you upgrade your phone but need to move your account to your new device. That's where Facebook's login feature comes in for games like Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, and even those Korean gacha games.

  meta's ad dashboard is blending your numbers and hiding where your money actually goes. here's the report that shows the truth ads manager > select any campaign > breakdown > by placement what you'll see: your $6 CPM is actually $14 on facebook feed (where people buy) blended with $2 on audience network (where people accidentally tap while playing candy crush). meta averages them to make the number look good. your "cost per impression" looks cheap. your cost per BUYING impression is 2-3x higher than the dashboard shows the fix: go to ad set level > placements > manual placements > uncheck audience network entirely. also uncheck messenger. these placements inflate your reach with garbage impressions from people who will never buy. they exist so meta can charge you for volume one operator turned off audience network and messenger. dashboard CPM went from $8 to $13. cost per PURCHASE went from $22 to $14. the CPM looked worse. the results got better. because every impression now went to a placement where people actually shop while you're there: breakdown > by time of day. you'll see which hours convert and which burn money. most stores: 10am-3pm weekdays is the lowest converting window. 9-11pm weeknights is the highest. you're paying the same rate for both. schedule your ads to increase spend during the hours that convert and decrease during the hours that don't. same total budget. more conversions

  $MSFT ’s Xbox Reset Is Bigger Than 3,200 Layoffs Microsoft is cutting roughly 3,200 jobs from Xbox, about one-fifth of the division, and the market should not file this under ordinary tech cost discipline. This looks more like a failed growth model being forcibly repriced. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma put it bluntly in the internal memo: “Our business today is not healthy.” Then the line that matters: “We must reset XBOX.” The real issue is Game Pass Microsoft spent years trying to turn Xbox into a subscription flywheel. Buy studios, add content, push Game Pass, smooth revenue, increase lifetime value, and make gaming look more like recurring software. That was the theory. The problem is the numbers never matched the ambition. Game Pass was reportedly expected to reach around 77 million subscribers this year. It is closer to 30 million. That gap is not a rounding error. It tells you the product did not scale anywhere near the internal model Microsoft was underwriting. M&A did not fix the economics The Activision Blizzard deal was supposed to deepen the content moat and make Game Pass harder to ignore. Instead, Microsoft is now selling or spinning off studios, cutting more than 350 additional people from payroll, and publishing fewer games. That is not expansion mode. That is portfolio triage. Sharma is shifting capital toward the franchises that actually matter: Minecraft, Candy Crush, Fallout. Everything else has to earn its place. The margin told management the truth Xbox revenue fell in the March quarter, and the division’s profit margin was just 3% for the fiscal year that ended in June. For a company like Microsoft, that is a brutal number. It is especially brutal when the parent company is pouring capital into AI infrastructure, where the market is already demanding proof of returns. Low-margin gaming experiments become harder to defend when Azure and AI are carrying the equity story. The stock read This is probably not a Microsoft thesis-breaker. Xbox is not the core reason investors own MSFT. But it is a useful signal about capital discipline. Nadella is not letting weak consumer assets hide behind the strength of enterprise cloud. The bottom line: these layoffs are not the reset. They are the evidence that the old Xbox strategy already failed.

  @kanon06 And it shouldn't count them at all. There's a HUGE problem as a game company if you read this bs study and think your game should appeal to both the sweaty COD gamer blasting 12 hrs a day and Brenda from accounting who plays candy crush at lunchtime. Its a worthless study.

  I really don’t like working with white trash people. “Yeah was a **** addict for 10 years but my kids are all still on drugs” I don’t care, we’re not equals. Stay away from me, I’m not going to explain how a 401k works. Go play candy crush on your Walmart phone.

  @IdleSloth84_ Honestly, it seems that management over Xbox Studios and Bethesda was the main issue. For sure some employee redundancy led to layoffs, but I don't know if Xbox would be better or worse w/o ABK. At least, CoD before BO7, Warzone and Candy Crush probably brought some money.

  @quadrapuni @_Hero_Hei_ The only issue I have with this is they are not easy to replace. Viewing devs as replaceable commodities is how we ended up in this situation. We fired the expensive people with talent, and hired Jessica who said she played candy crush 1 time, losing all that institutional knowledge.

  @Lfromthenorth @TenshiTTV I don't mean that you are lying. But here is my problem: people online are just nicknames. You can say, well, but there are games where voice is a must. Ok. But SC2 or non-teamed shooters are not like that. Still, we do not see girls playing them. Unlike Sims. Or Candy Crush.

  @The_Epic_Mike they really think candy crush and farmville makes them gamers the problem is that the development companies believe this too they think they can convert the candy crush crowd to AAA games, which is just pure insanity I know zero women who own a PS5 or Xbox, zero, none

  Boss, why do you act like the company belongs to your father? It doesn't, right? Then why does approving a leave request give you emotional constipation? The moment I ask for one day off, your face looks like I personally crashed the company's servers. And listen, if I don't come to work for a day, who's going to do my tasks? That's your problem, boss! Isn't that what management is supposed to be about? Keeping backups, planning resources, handling absences? If your entire business collapses because one employee takes a leave, that's not management—that's a group project gone horribly wrong. And HR? Please tell me, what exactly is HR doing? Playing Candy Crush all day? Because whenever employees need help, HR suddenly becomes harder to find than a bug-free production deployment. You pay us wages like we're daily laborers... But expect performance like we're contractors managing five projects, three clients, and the economy itself. Honestly, boss, were you deprived of proper head massages with mustard oil as a child? Because some important development seems to have been skipped.

  @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.
