    Is Candy Crush the game where people sit mindlessly on the subway and swipe or tap those colourful sweets, then something happens and some of them disappear and new ones come up to tap or swipe? I seriously do not understand the point of this other than a time killing battery waster. Then people complain their phone needs a recharge every 4 hours.

              AnonD-362866, 03 Nov 2015The financial power of Activision... Mind boggling sometimes.They've used public money. Besides their PC division (Blizzard) is doing really well financially.

                      Just like Zynga and Rovio, King is next on the list for dying after a single hit game.

                          Candy Crush is not a "game", it is a very expensive drug! King is the most evil/greedy company ever!
