Level 2
Buy, buy, buy! Spend, spend, spend!!
Candy Crush is now a money pit that I can no longer justify paying into! This has killed the joy of the game!
It's honestly sad that Candy Crush is extremely dependent on buying gold bars/boosts to advance! I totally understand collecting funds to help developers stay afloat and all, however, this game is beyond GREEDY now! I've played the same level 50+ times and all it wants me to do is SPEND to advance!! On July 31st, I had a win streak of 607 and I don't even want to know how much I spent to maintain it, but I walked away on August 1st. I hated to lose my streak, but I wanted to see how far I'd get without paying a dime. Now, I'm stuck on 2434 & getting offered 125 moves for $1.99/10 gold bars. This ridiculous and I regret falling into the micro-transaction trap for so long!!!
I'm not asking to have zero cost, just make it worth our while!!!

Exactly the same here. I buy stuff here and there to support the game and 3 weeks ago I bought boosters 3 days in a row, now I no longer get ads before a game starts to help with a booster nor do I get the hot air balloon anymore. I’m on level 9000 something and just stuck. Running out of time on every contest because I refuse to go back to earlier levels just to win.but I constantly get pop up ads wanting me to buy boosters. Everyone has complained and yet nothing has been done about it. You would think they would like to keep their paying customers and upper level players. Nope!!! I refuse to pay another cent till they bring back the ads and helpful boosters!!!

Right!! I honestly don't mind supporting developers because nothing is free! However, the level of greed that has come to pass lately feels like we are paying a toll just to advance! The boosts mean almost nothing now!! I'll never make it to that high of a level at this rate.

What you're saying is exactly what King wants. Evidently you fell into their trap. Once you pay real money for boosters/gold/lives, King takes away your ads. They figure you'll keep buying.
Sorry this happened to you. After a few months you may get your ads back.
Please let everyone know that this is what happens when you pay real money in this "free" game.
Have a happy Sunday, y'all!

I totally agree with you here. I have been playing for many years and until about a year ago I used to spend small amounts because some of the deals were value for money, meaning that they would actually help you get back on a win streak and advance in the game, enjoy the game again when you were stuck. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE. Now I advise players to NEVER spend real money on this game, because it is just a bottomless pit. If you have run out of gold then I advise you to quit this game. If it isn't fun playing any more then I advise you to quit this game. Get out NOW!

It's exactly my opinion, and also I do not have fun anymore. It's completely understandable that no developer can afford to offer a game completely without receiving any money from the players, and up to now I regularly bought gold. But I think most players simply do not have so much money to pay for everything. So, since the system was changed, I checked every day, if there is anything that I can play without paying, but that's all. As long as the conditions will remain unchanged, I will not buy anything.

Please don't think the only $ King gets is from the players. That's just a drop in their greedy bucket.
The majority of their income comes from advertisements. TEMU, anyone? That's one example. Do y'all realize if you buy something from that site, King gets a kickback? That's why we see their ads over and over and over! People are buying from them.
I'm just speaking my mind regarding King's issue with grabbing any little dollar they can get. It's sad, really. Since they lost their original server in December 2021, (fact... look it up) this game has gone to pot.
Although I love the game, it pains me how they've ruined it in the past few months.
Shame on you, King!!!

I'm playing the PC version and I've never had ads, but this still sucks all the same.
I FINALLY got passed this level!!
It only took 80+ tries...

Good to hear, well done. I hope you don't get stuck again like that any time soon. Remember too that King make the levels easier from time to time (i.e. give you lucky board sooner) and there is hope they'll do that once the Summer cup competition is over. So if you get stuck next time, wait it out until next week. Things might get better then. (We hope....)

This is really true, I spent a few reais on the game and I don't spend anything else. I'm at game level 3032 and I don't even know if I'm going to pass this.
