King didn’t squeeze $20 billion from addicted players by being nice…. https://www.reuters.com/technology/candy-crush-saga-hits-20-billion-revenue-milestone-maker-king-says-2023-09-26/
Not gone for me….that’s just manipulative developer King shows itself to be: taking it from those that want it and punishing those that don’t want it by having it pop up every few rounds.
I guess they are counting on players who are addicted to pay. I just play until my 5 lives are gone and am done. Not getting another cent from me thanks to the Candy Royale fiasco. Renaming my NH levels to legendary, assuming they are the same as when called NH, hasn’t (and isn’t) going to suddenly get me spending again.
I kid you not: Candy Royale now showing 14 levels to win for me. Hahaha…at this point, take it away, keep it…either way I’m never spending another dime on a King game.
I understand King will bring back the X once technology allows them to send an electroshock to select user’s fingers whenever they opt out of Candy Royale. In Kingly fashion, the feature will be tested which means some of us will get shocked while some of us will not.
While closing out the game repeatedly , I just noticed CR is now NINE levels. But then I’ve seen others up to 13 on here. HAHAHAHAHAHA…..King (tm) a-holes!
Yeah, I’m SURE the motivation is wanting players to get free gold bars. We, the players, don’t realize that it’s in our own best interest to be forced into the time waste that is CR amidst hard levels. Of course, King’s motivation is charity and not manipulating players to BUY more boosters to actually get something from…
Seeing posts with a new group getting the forced CR. So developers, who got confirmed feedback over a month ago, decide to double down instead of fixing this atrocious mistake. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Essentially flipping off your customers is an interesting business model.
