  another great Chinese invention after DeepSeek and GLM-5.2: 90-second fake billionaire divorce dramas that somehow make more money than Netflix on mobile sounds stupid until you look at the business model it’s not really “streaming” it’s TikTok + soap opera + mobile game monetization you get a crazy opening: poor girl secretly married the billionaire CEO evil stepmom humiliates her ex-boyfriend appears someone gets slapped then right before the reveal… episode ends next episode costs coins this is the important part: Chinese short dramas are not competing with HBO they’re competing with TikTok, Candy Crush, gambling loops, romance novels, and boredom the user is not thinking: “is this cinema?” they’re thinking: “wait what happens next?” that is a much stronger business than people want to admit the format exploded in China because it solved 3 problems at once: creators could produce much faster than normal film/TV platforms already had short-video traffic web-novel style storytelling already trained users to pay chapter by chapter China basically turned internet novels into vertical video vending machines and the unit economics are brutal traditional streaming: spend huge money make 8 episodes hope people subscribe wait months for feedback short drama: make cheap episodes test the hook immediately kill what doesn’t convert scale what makes people pay it’s closer to mobile gaming than Hollywood and that’s why the App Store rankings look insane you now have these short drama apps ranking above serious billion-dollar streaming platforms not because the shows are better because the loop is sharper Netflix asks for attention short dramas demand resolution big difference the other interesting part: this format is now going global ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, DramaWave, NetShort, etc. same structure, localized tropes: US market: werewolves, mafia romance, secret babies, billionaire husbands China market: revenge, family status, hidden identity, social mobility fantasy SEA/LATAM/India: localized melodrama + mobile-first payment loops this is also why AI video matters Seedance 2.0 and similar models won’t instantly create a perfect 90-minute movie wrong mental model the first real use case is much smaller: generate test scenes make fake trailers localize actors/backgrounds A/B test hooks turn scripts into animatics make ads faster produce low-budget vertical scenes cheaper short drama is one of the first entertainment categories where “AI slop” may actually be economically native because the audience is not paying for prestige they’re paying for: plot velocity emotional payoff identity fantasy cliffhanger resolution so the question is not: “can AI make cinema?” the question is: “can AI make the next 90 seconds addictive enough that someone pays 99 cents?” that is a much easier problem and probably a much bigger market than people think my take: short dramas will not replace Netflix but they will take time and spend from mobile games, romance apps, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and casual entertainment the next big entertainment company may not look like Disney it may look like a game studio running hundreds of tiny soap operas with AI-assisted production and casino-level retention math

  Do you know the casual candy crush **** they want you to play to entertain 1 billion people? Get ready.. because they're gutting their studios of creatives and pushing AI to make their games hard. Being human is a problem at XBOX.

  Is this the beginning of the end for Xbox? One telling data point for me is that King and Mojang are the biggest studios at Xbox. When you think of Xbox, do you think of Minecraft and Candy Crush? I know I don't. I guess that's the problem. Studios being sold off: * Compulsion Games * Double Fine Productions * Ninja Theory * Undead Labs * Arkane appears to be closing entirely.

  A high-school dropout coded a game after work each night. Microsoft paid $2,500,000,000 in cash for it. Edsbyn, Sweden. Markus Persson grows up in a house coming apart. His father cycles through alcohol, amphetamines, and jail for robberies. His parents split when he is 12. His younger sister runs away into drugs. He fakes stomachaches to skip school and sit at the family Commodore for hours. By 8 he is writing code. He never finishes high school. His mother, a nurse working the graveyard shift, forces him into an online programming course. That course becomes the whole career. 2004: he lands a job at a Stockholm game studio, the outfit that later builds Candy Crush. He keeps a paycheck by day and tinkers on his own worlds at night. 2009: he starts a blocky side project on indie forums and calls it Minecraft. He built the first version in about a week. It spread by word of mouth with no marketing. By 2014: 15,000,000 copies sold across consoles and PC. The pressure of being the sole god of a phenomenon wears him down. September 2014: Microsoft buys his studio Mojang for $2,500,000,000 in cash. His 71% stake makes him a billionaire overnight and lands him on the Forbes list. The audit: Minecraft passed 300,000,000 copies, the best-selling game in history. The 2025 movie grossed over $950,000,000. Forbes marks Persson near $1,300,000,000 today. His father went to jail. The dropout son built the best-selling game ever made.

  @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!? 😭

  This is such a non-issue, but I was playing candy crush the other day. I was in a challenge that I was very close to winning, and I had a timed booster, I'll lose both if I lose a level. Wasted all my hard-earned gold bars on extra moves on this stupid level

  @sleepy_devo Leave it to a retarded lib to completely miss the point. He's saying if you spent your time more wisely, you would be able afford kids. It's a prioritization issue. If candy crush is that important to you, we really don't want you having kids anyways.

  $MSFT ’s Xbox Reset Is Bigger Than 3,200 Layoffs Microsoft is cutting roughly 3,200 jobs from Xbox, about one-fifth of the division, and the market should not file this under ordinary tech cost discipline. This looks more like a failed growth model being forcibly repriced. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma put it bluntly in the internal memo: “Our business today is not healthy.” Then the line that matters: “We must reset XBOX.” The real issue is Game Pass Microsoft spent years trying to turn Xbox into a subscription flywheel. Buy studios, add content, push Game Pass, smooth revenue, increase lifetime value, and make gaming look more like recurring software. That was the theory. The problem is the numbers never matched the ambition. Game Pass was reportedly expected to reach around 77 million subscribers this year. It is closer to 30 million. That gap is not a rounding error. It tells you the product did not scale anywhere near the internal model Microsoft was underwriting. M&A did not fix the economics The Activision Blizzard deal was supposed to deepen the content moat and make Game Pass harder to ignore. Instead, Microsoft is now selling or spinning off studios, cutting more than 350 additional people from payroll, and publishing fewer games. That is not expansion mode. That is portfolio triage. Sharma is shifting capital toward the franchises that actually matter: Minecraft, Candy Crush, Fallout. Everything else has to earn its place. The margin told management the truth Xbox revenue fell in the March quarter, and the division’s profit margin was just 3% for the fiscal year that ended in June. For a company like Microsoft, that is a brutal number. It is especially brutal when the parent company is pouring capital into AI infrastructure, where the market is already demanding proof of returns. Low-margin gaming experiments become harder to defend when Azure and AI are carrying the equity story. The stock read This is probably not a Microsoft thesis-breaker. Xbox is not the core reason investors own MSFT. But it is a useful signal about capital discipline. Nadella is not letting weak consumer assets hide behind the strength of enterprise cloud. The bottom line: these layoffs are not the reset. They are the evidence that the old Xbox strategy already failed.

  @SarcasmStardust If Candy Crush was the only thing stopping me from having kids I would’ve had one 15 years ago. I haven’t played it at all since then, nor any of its cousins. I don’t play any mobile games & rarely console games. Too busy working.

  @arcanistsaphras @56pearo People have a problem with the direction the entire art is taking and the other person is spot on the money with blaming you for it. Saying "its not that bad" because they throw you crumbs is the saddest form a consumer can take. I wish people like you would stick to Candy Crush

  @thomaslhorrocks Imagine believing the argument is that candy crush is the problem and not a placeholder/analogy for the overall problem of materialism… also blaming costs doesn’t hold water when you learn that poorer people are having more kids than the rich.
