  care, raise the minimum wage. You know, actual policies that create an environment where people can have children. A system FOR the people. Candy Crush isn't the problem. It's a government run by greedy billionaires who don't give a **** about anything other than ROI.

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  @Hockey_ftw @SkolRant He’s ignoring the actual questions people consider when considering children in favor of diminishing the problems. It’s pure ignorance. There are real addressable reasons, candy crush is not one of them.

  @fishstark @BenSasse Its going to be really fascinating to watch the candy crush people not working, addicted to porn, and drugs try to pay for the 16 weeks. Then when they all run out of kids for the 16 weeks watching their society go into free fall will be a larf.

  @thomaslhorrocks @realmattcarr Then how come wealthy families, who don’t struggle for these issues, aren’t having more kids than low income? How come their numbers are down too? I think you’re missing the point he’s getting at, and you’re not smart enough to comprehend so you focus on Candy Crush.

  @_laurabee_x @johndrewmarkley The problem is that those deceptive stats benefit no one -candy crush players don't care about the "gamer" label -male gamers are upset to be lumped in with candy crush players -female gamers are upset because it groups them with the wrong demographic ("women" instead of "gamer")

  @WestsideLAGuy Candy crush is just the first thing that his boomer brain could think of, but his broader point about smart phones is likely true. The problem is definitely deeper than raising costs or lack of social programs.

  darkprometheus112 (@darkprometheus1) reported 21 minutes ago

  @JohnnyGaming9 @khaliltooshort Yeah this isnt true because men and women play different genres entirely which is where the issues in making games are. Also, this stat likely includes mobile gaming which is a joke. The stats need to show how many people console and apC game. Not mobile. Every phone had candy crush on it for example. That doesnt mean upu are a gamer.

  @GregChase @Noahpinion Re: the Ben Sasse "Candy Crush" clip that's going viral To the extent that people have become distracted from the important things in life by "little dopamine hits," I would put BBM and BrickBreaker in that category -- but the problem seems much more acute now

  Purple Christian (@deeppurplexian) reported 30 minutes ago

  @thomaslhorrocks It’s both, my good sir. Candy Crush is just shorthand for the problem he means to indicate, and I think you know that. But that’s a micro reason. One macro reason is what you correctly mention: It’s much harder to afford early-20C domesticity than Boomers would like to believe.

  Boss, why do you act like the company belongs to your father? It doesn't, right? Then why does approving a leave request give you emotional constipation? The moment I ask for one day off, your face looks like I personally crashed the company's servers. And listen, if I don't come to work for a day, who's going to do my tasks? That's your problem, boss! Isn't that what management is supposed to be about? Keeping backups, planning resources, handling absences? If your entire business collapses because one employee takes a leave, that's not management—that's a group project gone horribly wrong. And HR? Please tell me, what exactly is HR doing? Playing Candy Crush all day? Because whenever employees need help, HR suddenly becomes harder to find than a bug-free production deployment. You pay us wages like we're daily laborers... But expect performance like we're contractors managing five projects, three clients, and the economy itself. Honestly, boss, were you deprived of proper head massages with mustard oil as a child? Because some important development seems to have been skipped.

  @Luseraphiel @tajbanis @BleuSpheres I think the problem is that we call very disparate things "games". At least I'd separate gamey games and cinematic experiences (CinEx anyone?). I even have my doubts if Candy Crush (the original, from the web portal) should be in the same category as Candy Crush Saga (MTX-based).

  @BriansBeacon @60Minutes You also have to ask people why they're not having their second or third child or whatever. In my case it was fertility issues plus health issues plus finances that made us stop at one. Oh and Candy Crush obviously.

  @kananaskinyeti they also have no problem with the vampire capitalists rigging everything online with casino addiction marketing, all those candy crush games of sparkle and jingle made to psychologically snare them in a dopamine loop to suck money out of them.

  Gen-Z is not lazy or stupid, and telling them they are will just make things worse. They have executive function issues as a result of being handed a screen ever since they were children by moms who became addicted to candy crush by the time the kids were around 7.

  To cite Candy Crush and not lack of proper maternity leave, unaffordable childcare expenses, a broken healthcare system, as the reason young women are deciding not to have babies, is infinitely insulting. @BenSasse

  The Air India Boeing 787 has flight recorders, satellite feeds, and NVM chips tracking everything down to the pilot's heart rate, but the government is still convinced Aunt Priya's Candy Crush high score holds the key to the crash.

  @EAMaddenNFL Beta testing showing @EAMaddenNFL @EASPORTS still don’t know how to build franchise features. FA looks like another Candy Crush gambling loop borrowed from MUT. People want to play as NFL GMs, not get pushed into app-style mechanics. Same issue as scouting: boring and bare bones.

  @LOVETHEW0RLD What irritates me. When I was a kid, my mom would play Sonic 2. Beat it. We played other games. She beat Crash 1 - 3(100% btw). She almost beat Banjo and kazooie. Stuff happens. Now she plays "candy crush" type games. And said video games are overwhelming. Wtf do you mean!? 😭

  @fishstark @BenSasse Obviously he’s not saying literally candy crush is the problem. But if you ran the experiment where one half outlawed subsidizing arrested development with useless college degrees, fake jobs, birth control, hookup apps it would dominate your half on birth rate

  @Hunterrowell61 @60Minutes @BenSasse I agree with this as well - I think it’s a multifaceted issue and trying to boil it down in a character limited space is a disservice to the discussion. I just refuse to be insulted by the argument of Mr. Candy Crush

  An anon post rexosted by BAP and other anons just got taken down for “violating the rules” when it was calling Ben Sasse totally out of touch for saying “candy crush is the problem” ending with “kill yourself” It wasn’t even his account, it was a 60 minutes clip, we can’t even use edgy quips to express frustration anymore New regime same as old regime (except the new ones rules are arbitrary)

  @MR3Dev It's because dev teams are bloated with a bunch of fake girl boss jobs for non-gamers. Because so many devs now are non-gamers, they can't compete in the arena of ideas regarding design and gameplay. Cause the only game they ever played was Candy Crush. So they instead focus on every possible thing possible EXCEPT gameplay because they don't understand it. This is why we get such a push for accessibility. "Blind people aren't competitive in our racing game, how can we solve this?" Or "some people have anxiety, how do we make it easier for them to complete all the achievements, too?" These non-gaming girl bosses scour the internet looking for feedback and complaints they can champion like they're feeding the poor or saving the world. This is why we end up with 15 page options screens, because a girl boss found the one person n the world who has a specific edge case issue and so she advocated for an obscure option until real devs finally gave in to shut her up. Or maybe you're making a card game, but non-gaming girl bosses like Anita Sarkeesian demand you add a "phobia mode" for people who might be triggered by the names of certain cards. When you're trying to ship a game and you're carry 30-50% of a dev team focused on everything EXCEPT the gameplay experience itself, you can start to understand why games are so ******* expensive to make.
