Massive Price Increase?

I have sadly spent over a thousand dollars on this game in buying gold bars and boosters recently however today I realized the prices have nearly doubled for everything including the piggy back. I will never spend another dime until that is changed back. The prices has increased REPEATEDLY lately and I will not pay anymore. Why is there this sudden price increase?

I emailed Candy Crush about the cynical doubling of prices for gold bars and was told that i didn’t have to buy them to play the game. But no explanation about why they needed to double the price. I think it is a sign that King care more about making money than making friends with those who play their games. So now we know what they think about us the faithful gamers who have supported they all this time.

30 bricks now? Nope...nope...nope! Guess it'll just take me longer to complete levels! I'm done spending $$! 🤑

I’ve decided spending money on a game that isn’t the Lottery just isn’t in the budget anymore. Lol consequently I stay stuck on levels for a while.

I have played candy crush since the day it started and have spent loads of money, we finally get a little bonus,60 bars for £2.99 then out of the blue you halve the amount of bars but keep the price the same, I will not be purchasing anything from you greedy buggers until the 60 bars is reinstated. Shame on you

Yeah....it is hard to make progress without having to purchase helpers...that shouldn't be that way but...

It is not only the Piggy Bank that has doubled in price. But all gold bar purchases have gone up very considerably due to the greed of King. I used to spend between £ 1-200 a month and I am nearly at level 4000. Their ridiculous price increases have made me reconsider how I play and I will never buy anything again even though the higher levels are largely designed to make you want to buy boosters because they can be very hard to complete if you do not. Also if you watch carefully King do not abide by the Move Rules correctly and if it looks like you may win they slip one or two pieces to worsen what would have otherwise have been a good position. So I will just play for free and save a small fortune - It is nearly as much fun and hopefully prove to King that we are neither made of money for playing games nor are we stupid as they seem to think we are. I strongly suggest we all do the same to teach them a lesson about avarice.

I have been playing g and spending g money on this game for almost 2 years. I will NEVER purchase the bricks again if it stays at 30 bricks being full. If I cannot advance with out buying the bricks, I will delete this game from all my devices. Then King will not long get my money in the future..this would be a loose loose.

We loyal players should be REWARDED in gold bars and free boosters for sticking with Candy Crush for so long, instead of being punished for that loyalty! If you play longer, the prices should go down, not up, as incentive for us to continue to patronize their game site, don’t you agree?

the king cowards won't speak to the players, so i opened a little FB group to extend the feeling to those that don't find their way here;

I just went to the google play store and gave them 1 star and left a bad review.

viviwel

hear, hear dianadriver- probably too busy increasing the prices again. sadly, cowardly as well as greedy and intellectually challenged.

dianadriver

I see in other places the comments, ie ideals and help with the game, that you comment under all those. Why are you not talking to us that are outraged about price increase?

andrewm

Have you only just noticed your feet King because you just seem to have shot yourself in both of them with your ridiculous and greedy price rises. No more from me - once a happy player and moderate spender. You seem to have killed the golden goose!

I agree with everybody's comments on the price increase. I am at level 3998 and I am finding advancing impossible. The levels are very hard and the only way to win a level is with boosters, The boosters are too expensive. The fun is gone.

I, too, am very disappointed in the huge price increase. I was a loyal player, and have spent a LOT of real life money for your virtual gold bars. Why cut the piggy bank in half? Why raise everything else at least $5 per package? I quit.

viviwel

i too have given them a one and a nasty comment, good idea.

vickinna

Great suggestion. I just gave it 1 star and left a review about the insulting price increases.
