@Elsa, I keep playing half an hour -the free time- hoping the second quarter results will show a loss of X compared to last year and the quests will come back.
No one likes the game anymore, as you know. But we still have illusions. 
Addicted? No, not at all. Those games are just the easiest thing to keep you busy. No need for partners, a special place or material. It can be played anywhen, anywhere, as easy as reading a book. Americans always amuse me with their fascination for addiction. Gaming addiction is found in casinos, you know. It is a complex phenomenon, with the urge to win money. 
And it was one of the best games available, thus the number of players! 
Add the idea that if you miss a day, you start from the beginning with bonuses, it makes a lot of good reasons to play it a but still.

Thanks for writing back.  You actually play for the half hour?  You spend a lot more time playing the game than I do.  I have 3 mobile devices and I give each of them maybe 5 minutes each on the game.  I think I mentioned before that I don't even use up my free 5 lives.  I get so fed up trying to clear a level.  I'm on level 1971 and it was really enjoyable until I think the 1800s.  Now it takes me forever to clear each level.  Yet every so often I go into a winning streak where I get to use Rainbow Road.  That's my most enjoyable part of the game. 

Hi @Mark_Adcock, I totally agree with you regarding the relief of finally winning and not having to play the same level again!  Thanks for the smile that you brought to my face reading that in your message.  You are absolutely right about the color bomb and coloring candy but what are the odds of getting them next to each other?  I've had to buy hands, especially if it's a chocolate or bubble gum level and I don't enjoy watching them take over the whole board.

Paradise Bay is ending and I think AlphaBetty Saga is now not doing new levels too.  But the candy crush games, I don't foresee them ending, but that's my point of view.

I find CC Saga much easier than CC Soda but, like you said, it could be because it's easier to get free boosters in CC Saga.  I"m at the top in CC Saga and I clear the new episode every Wednesday.  I don't foresee me ever getting close to the top for this game.

Are there more people who have lost the gum machine and also have Mr. Toffee? I just noticed it’s gone. Did they remove something again where you can get things for free? 

@Yosca

Hello Yosca! The Gum Machine has always been there and so is Mr. Toffee Fair. If you noticed they are gone in your App, it was not because someone removed them. As I have said above and I will quote it completely here, you'll have to address you Computer and Mobile Device Compatibility Issues with HTML5 to be able to see the complete features of KIng Games.  Until then, you wouldn't enjoy the freebies that I am getting. Below was what I said in my comment on this thread above.

"Hi Everyone!

I have been playing Candy Crush Soda Saga since 2014 and Candy Crush Saga in 2012. Just like the Candy Crush Saga, I never paid to play at all since Level 1. I am now in Level 991 on Soda and 4131 on Candy Crush Saga. I never had any issues to complain about that is pressing and frustrating, just minor ones. I tell you it is not because of luck. It is because all my computers and mobile devices are set to Automatically Update which makes my life stress free.

I know a lot of you have been having issues of not getting Boosters on King Games since the company transitioned to HTML5 from the old Adobe Flash Player. What you are experiencing could actually be leaning towards incompatibility with this new video or gaming streaming platform. Whether you are using a computer or a mobile device, any of these should be set to Automatically Update on Settings. If they are not, you will still be able to play the games but you will not get all the features of the games unless you do what is needed to be done to be compatible and be able to enjoy your games without interruptions.

I posted a Discussion on this topic at the CCS Community on April 27, 2019, entitled "Candy Crush Saga Future Gaming   |   Future Gaming   |   HTML5   |   Is Your Browser Ready?" with this link: https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/255813/candy-crush-saga-future-gaming-html5-is-your-browser-ready-published-on-august-5-2018#latest
This has all the information you need to keep up with the evolving technology. If you have not checked your browser's compatibility with HTML5, you will never resolve your issue till the end of 2020 when every online Browsers will be completely transitioned to HTML5 platform. Why wait, when you could do it now?"

I am hoping everyone here will pay attention!

Thanks!

@mercerik

 Hello Mercerik Thank you for accepting my request! I did not expect that anymore. I play on the PC with Window7. I have mentioned that many times. Mark had given me a link - in Farm Super Heros, there are my pictures deposited with. From google chrome and opera. Because Firefox I do not have so many points. But the game is firefox more fluid than Chrome and Opera. I now prefer to stay with what I have and have my peace. If I read it all this way. I do not want to do that !! How long I can play is uncertain.

Greetings Peggy

@Spinnifix

Hello Peggy!

It doesn't matter which King Games game you are currently playing. Our computer is like a human body. You have to take care of its health. If you want your computer to serve you for so many years, you will have to do maintenance starting with regular Updates, clearing your Temporary Files, Scanning for Errors. Making sure that all your computer Apps are set on Automatic Update on Windows Settings so you don't have to worry about them. These are just the first part of Health Check to keep up with the Evolving Technology.

The Second Part is making sure that your Firefox Browser is up-to-date. Firefox scored above 450 on HTLM5 Test. It means that it is compatible with the streaming platform. I am not sure is if your browser is regularly updated in your computer.

People's tendency when faced with computer App issues is to blame the maker of it. If you notice, not all of you have the same exact problems. Have you ever thought that it could be your system? 

If you want a Stress Free Gaming Fun, you will have to make sure you listen to advise from us here. Uninstalling and reinstalling are not the best solutions to your issues. They are Temporary Solutions until you look at the Bigger Picture which is making sure your computer and your browser are all tuned-up to the new technology that is running in the game. 

Hope these advise help you in attaining fun in every King Games you play! 

Thanks!

Yosca

@mercerik Thanks for your respond, but it was definitely a technical issue see the comment of QueenB https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-soda-saga/discussion/256970/bubble-gum-machine#latest

I do have automatic updates etc, so again thanks for responding.

I wish there was a way to protest Mr. Toffee's Fair. After they took away all the competitions (other than BGH) my Daily Quests were the only way to earn boosters. Now with MTF, I can't even earn the good boosters. I'm almost out of candy and I'm probably not going to be able to play anymore soon. It might not have been so bad if we didn't have to wait a whole half hour to get more lives.

My mtf disappeared today and now I have nothing but I'm good with it

Here is a good idea the team and hardcore players we see here work together.  My son James was born with downs syndrome  and many medical conditions. I started playing as I waited during appointment after appointment as a way to tune out. I read comment earlier about addiction asking a player when the game is designed to be addicting.  Take the fair take the daily missions I will beat the boards anyway!

Anne_Martin

@Elsa, 
well, it depends on the level. As long as the quests were there, I had picked up a few levels good for creating hard balls, or wrapped candies, etc, and I would play them to get boosters and go back to the level I could not pass, using the hammers, etc...
Now, I am fed up. I play a level a few times, 4 or 5 until I know what you need, and often just stop, because it is a bore. You need mostly a soft and a hard, but you will only get it when the game agrees. I've stopped Jelly totally for the same reasons But Jelly never got to be very popular, too hard from the beginning, and impossible without boosters once you reach 1500. 
Tried Friends, not much fun for the same reasons, you will get it one day, but when? it does not depend on you, just on the game's mood. Pet Rescue, the new one, is totally stupid. 
I miss the time when you could plan your level, win it because you played it well. 
Addicting? I'm not sure. I've put the phone away with 2 hours of free play left because I could not stand repeating the same level again and again. 
I still don't get what Mr Kotick wants. He plays a dangerous game, is addicted to money and power, and believes people will buy boosters. I don't think so, but the future will tell us.

Anne_Martin

the technical level of the games has always been a problem. Playing on FB is a lot easier than on the King platform.

Off topic, but I do want to mention this: if you don’t have the gum machine anymore  (like me). I was just  told, this is a glitch and they are looking at it. Don’t reinstall the app...

Thank you so much for letting us know, I just logged on today for the first time a half an hour ago and wondered what was going on.
