  @_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")

  Been working on level progression for my little piano game And been thinking; what happens if candy crush (and those sorts of games) wanted to add new levels at beginner stages? Or remove levels? Is level 10 on the original candy crush still the same level 10 now? I doubt it. I’m guessing they just replace the level and those who already finishes never knew. But I just never considered that before

  @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

  Xbox 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.

  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.

  @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.

  This 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

  Is 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.

  @asha_shar We might be in time line where sony having downfall and xbox returns to it's old self in a way from early 2000s Decision to not close studio quickly i guess was right, the one who should be fired /laidoff are people in charge of those studios and i agree that that xbox should focus on games and studio who are working fully,and are not idle or making sloppy games Time for halo franchise as top xbox game is gone now too, minecraft and candy crush definitely carrying it now 🔥 I do hope halo studios do something productive and make good halo games But having them Activision... They might milk it like callofduty, just hope story and gameplay stay good Future of gaming is grim but not lost yet Sony falling down with their stupid decisions , xbox need to rise up

  @arcanistsaphras @56pearo People have a problem with the direction the entire art is taking and the other person is spot on the money with blaming you for it. Saying "its not that bad" because they throw you crumbs is the saddest form a consumer can take. I wish people like you would stick to Candy Crush

  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.
