I have been playing Candy Crush Saga since 2015, currently on level 6574, so I'm quite familiar with the never ending changes that have been taking place all this time (always to "improve" gameplay and/or make the game more "challenging", of course) and your tactics to extort money out of players. You are a corporation, not a charity organization, and have to make a profit... I get that. But this time, with the latest changes, I think you took it too far. Not only you have stripped the game down from virtually every source of free power-ups but you chose to do so in a period of time where humanity faces one of the worst crisis in its recent history and the majority of the citizens across the world are forced to remain in quarantine. No matter how hard I try, I can't help but to think you did this on purpose. You saw it coming... You saw it as a chance to make more money. And I find that utterly disgraceful!
Apart from everything else you have removed from the game these last few weeks, today I woke up to find out the BOT has gone missing as well - usually it reappeared every Monday half empty or half full, whichever you prefer! You took away the BOT too? Wow! And all this while you are announcing new "surprises" (well, enough "surprises" already if you ask me) which no one knows what they are exactly and when they are going to be implemented and the only new feature you have to present is a different layout which I don't have as well btw? Why didn't you implement at least one of these new features to the game while you were taking everything else away from it? And on what criteria have you based your decision to take away the BOT, the sugar track and pretty much everything from some players while others still have at least one of those features in their game? (Rhetorical questions - I'm not expecting a responsible reply from anyone in charge here).
I'm going to hang on for a while, only because I have invested too much time in playing your game. If I don't see drastic changes that will make the game playable again soon enough, unfortunately, I'll have to delete the game and my King account altogether, which is probably what you want me to do anyway. I hope you are able to provide for those who wish to delete their accounts and wipe out all their personal info from your database.
I have decided to keep playing for awhile, but will no longer spend any money. I am maxed out on levels so it isn’t much of a commitment since there is nothing to play until new games load. I think they are trying to get rid of those of us at the top. I have never played for free before so I loaded my game on my tablet so I can’t buy or waste boosters. No point in using boosts now because it takes too many until a good board comes along. Just wait for the right board to load.
I was lucky because I still had Build-a-Bot on previous levels. But now I’ve lost the Bot complete! Totally frustrated! Only 1 thing has left: the chocolate box...

So you take away the sugar drops and replace them with a shop button. At a time when millions of people lost their job you take away free boosters and add a shop button. Real nice of you. I still get so upset every time I play this game now. You've ruined this game all for money.
That is totally true... all the chances to gain boosters through the game are gone. Of course without boosters it is impossible to continue. CC will never get my money. In two years I reached level 6500 without paying ONE CENT. If I must go ahead by paying a lot of money... this is nonsense and no fun anymore. I wouldn't have ever believed that after so a long time I would have uninstalled, but this is what I am going to do. Stupid the CC designers..
I agree. Why did they take away sugar drop boosters where could collect extras bonus by playing a level with C next to it? In these difficult times most of us are isolated, would think you'd bring back what people want..
Very unfortunate to see the build a bot feature altered. As an avid player I find it disappointed and I was more inclined to spend money when I was enjoying it. I notice I’m not even getting boosters when I pass new levels.. making it nearly impossible to beat challenging ones.
I only play one level once a day because you took away the sugar drops. Used to play a lot but now just get mad. Only come back once a day to see if the sugar drops are back
Oh Build a Bot not going to charge if you play previous levels ????????? No chance of charging build a Bot now then, I am in the 6,000's and nearly 3 levels on each section are either hard or nightmarishly hard so that's never going to happen. I think you are despicable !! All this is for is to force players to buy boosters, time to stop playing you money grabbing so and so's and at a time when most people in the world are being confined to their homes, unable to work with the current pandemic, and not sure how they're going to pay their rent or mortgage and would turn to Candy Crush to pass the time and you decide to make boosters harder to earn so you can have our money, well rest assured you wont get MINE !!! 😷😷😷
The Sugar Drops are a core part of my enjoyment of the game - collecting sugar drops to then be able to beat levels. Without the bonus items I have a hard time winning levels. I refuse to buy items, especially with the greedy approach during these difficult times. I need money more than I need this game!
