  I got stuck behind a slow walker on the DC metro this morning who was playing CANDY CRUSH on her phone and I’m still thinking about it

  @LateNightCandi_ 20-30% And im not including women who play mobile games like candy crush. Talking about real games. And I would actually agree except the last about 3-4 years has seen a massive industry wide push in high profile games and studios that feels 100% forced New ips, no issue

  A high-school dropout coded a game after work each night. Microsoft paid $2,500,000,000 in cash for it. Edsbyn, Sweden. Markus Persson grows up in a house coming apart. His father cycles through alcohol, amphetamines, and jail for robberies. His parents split when he is 12. His younger sister runs away into drugs. He fakes stomachaches to skip school and sit at the family Commodore for hours. By 8 he is writing code. He never finishes high school. His mother, a nurse working the graveyard shift, forces him into an online programming course. That course becomes the whole career. 2004: he lands a job at a Stockholm game studio, the outfit that later builds Candy Crush. He keeps a paycheck by day and tinkers on his own worlds at night. 2009: he starts a blocky side project on indie forums and calls it Minecraft. He built the first version in about a week. It spread by word of mouth with no marketing. By 2014: 15,000,000 copies sold across consoles and PC. The pressure of being the sole god of a phenomenon wears him down. September 2014: Microsoft buys his studio Mojang for $2,500,000,000 in cash. His 71% stake makes him a billionaire overnight and lands him on the Forbes list. The audit: Minecraft passed 300,000,000 copies, the best-selling game in history. The 2025 movie grossed over $950,000,000. Forbes marks Persson near $1,300,000,000 today. His father went to jail. The dropout son built the best-selling game ever made.

  @60Minutes Lmao yeah the problem is everyone is playing Candy Crush. Certainly not the economy, shifting priorities and a generation of undesirable men propagandized by rw podcasters.

  @TheOnlyDSC I'm pretty sure she had money for the many piercings she's sporting, but she has a problem having to pay for her own candy as the taxpayers (you and me) won't be supplimenting your fat arse with our money. A part time job might cover you candy crush, but you'd have to work.

  Can 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

  @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.

  @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.

  @CandyCrushSaga seriously. This game has tested my patience this week. Yet again it crashed just as I earned the super colour bomb. Please fix this issue,

  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.

  @FreeSolGamesDev @AzFlin @Poki Problem is the barrier to success with low skill games like candy crush is you can't get attention among a million similar games. Back to the distribution problem

  @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

  @****** I usually find that people that spank are just kind of stupid. Like they don't want to genuinely invest into the relationship with their kid and doom scroll, so when their kid acts out they want to just resort to violence, "stop the problem", then go back to candy crush.

  Buddy thinks we stopped getting married and reproducing bc of candy crush and not bc of a system that encourages 20 year olds to enter the working world with 6 figure debt in this real estate market. And people vote for this

  @unquirer How incredibly sad is this? Talk about "Flailing at fictitious Windmills." It's so very clear -- the Directionless, the Lonely, the Disconnected -- no longer working, kids grown and gone - they've lost "life context." If they weren't doing this, it would be Candy Crush in a dark living room, or gambling the 401K at Bangor Slots, or maybe pursuing a new "love interest" in Nigeria, with a future slot on Reality TV. Too bad they can't figure out a "way to waste their time" that isn't more impactful and productive in the Real World.
