  @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.

  @asha_shar We might be in time line where sony having downfall and xbox returns to it's old self in a way from early 2000s Decision to not close studio quickly i guess was right, the one who should be fired /laidoff are people in charge of those studios and i agree that that xbox should focus on games and studio who are working fully,and are not idle or making sloppy games Time for halo franchise as top xbox game is gone now too, minecraft and candy crush definitely carrying it now 🔥 I do hope halo studios do something productive and make good halo games But having them Activision... They might milk it like callofduty, just hope story and gameplay stay good Future of gaming is grim but not lost yet Sony falling down with their stupid decisions , xbox need to rise up

  @60Minutes Yes, it’s cell phones and candy crush. It’s not the exorbitant costs of living, having a baby, socializing to find a partner and not having enough time because life is filled with working, having healthy habits and finding products that aren’t harmful, etc. It’s cell phones.

  @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.

  @thomaslhorrocks Your are missing the point. It’s not literally candy crush. I assume you know that. The lack of emtional attachment and replacement of it with our phones is a real problem that we are ignoring.

  @shaunmeasom @ClashofClans What an L take, nerfs are to make everyone happy. Just because you like to abuse broken stuffs, that doesn't mean everyone feels the same. If you don't like to use some braincell to play this game, you have candy crush on the playstore.

  @not__vee To be fair cowgirls exist. 🐮 Games can be hobby for both males and females. That's fine. Problem is trying to make all the games for both. That doesn't work because women want to play dress-up games and candy crush, while men want to crush enemies and have a cute Khajiit wife.

  @_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")

  Meta charges you up to 4x more per impression on Audience Network placements that convert at near-zero And the toggle to turn them off is buried 3 menus deep in ad set settings When you launch a Meta ad it runs on 4 placements by default: Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Stories/Reels, and Audience Network. You probably know about the first 3. The 4th is where Meta sends your ad to random apps and websites to fill cheap inventory Audience Network CPMs are cheap. $1-3. That looks good in your dashboard. The problem: conversion rates on Audience Network are near-zero for ecom because the "viewer" is playing a mobile game and your ad is a banner they accidentally tapped trying to close it. The click was accidental. She didn't want your product. She wanted to get back to Candy Crush Your ad dashboard shows a blended CPM across all placements. The $6 CPM you see is actually $14 on Facebook Feed (where people buy) and $2 on Audience Network (where nobody buys). Meta blends them to make the number look good. Your real cost to reach a buyer is $14. You think it's $6 The fix: - go to ad set level - click "Placements" - switch from "Advantage+ Placements" to "Manual Placements" - uncheck "Audience Network" entirely - while you're there uncheck "Messenger" too (same problem, different placement) Your CPM will "increase" on the dashboard because you removed the cheap garbage placements. Your cost per PURCHASE will decrease because every impression now goes to a placement where people actually buy things One operator turned off Audience Network and Messenger. Dashboard CPM went from $8 to $13. Cost per purchase went from $22 to $14. He was paying $22 per customer while Meta showed him an $8 CPM that included thousands of accidental taps from people playing mobile games Meta defaults to all placements because Meta gets paid per impression regardless of whether it converts. The more placements your ad runs on the more impressions Meta sells. Their incentive is volume. Your incentive is conversions. These are different goals. The default setting serves their goal not yours 3 clicks deep in your ad settings. 2 minutes. Your cost per purchase drops and your dashboard finally shows real numbers instead of blended fiction

  @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.

  @LateNightCandi_ 20-30% And im not including women who play mobile games like candy crush. Talking about real games. And I would actually agree except the last about 3-4 years has seen a massive industry wide push in high profile games and studios that feels 100% forced New ips, no issue

  re asha saying "we want 1BN daily users" it's better to think like, well that's obviously not achievable with a console model, what other ways might they add to measure that? for example MS owns candy crush, /w a MS login that's thousands of daily active users from the NYPD alone

  @Gravantus That means you've been infected by Candy Crush, and have no mental ability to understand or overcome it. This is a real problem. Deal with it.

  @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.

  Makes sense — it's not much better on the consumer side either. Windows keeps "fixing" the wrong things: Windows 8: ugly design → backlash. Windows 10: fixed it → everyone happy. Logical next step for Windows 11? Fix bugs. Cut bloat. Speed it up. What did Microsoft do instead? Redesigned it all over again. 🙃 The actual to-do list sat there, untouched: • Start menu — stripped down, centered by default, less customizable than 2015's version • Ads — built into the Start menu and lock screen. A $2,000 laptop that also sells you Candy Crush. • Copilot — wedged into every corner, nobody asked • TPM 2.0 — legit security call. But ditching old hardware was the perfect excuse to also ditch the legacy code behind it and ship something leaner. Instead: more bloat, and a higher entry price. Somehow this counts as "innovation."

  @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.

  People need to quit strawmanning this. The dude didn't say "if we get rid of candy crush the birthrate will explode exponentially." Now ,there are probably a myriad of reasons why you can't afford a studio apartment off your college degree and your parents could afford a house off of your non-educated dad's income. Part of that is probably because of the racket the government has turned higher education into. Your dad may have had more marketable skills despite his lack of educational affluence. It's possible to call attention to the problems of being distracted by cell phones and recognize structural economic issues at the same time. But it's also worth noting that the solutions to these structural economic issues often aren't what a lot of people think they are.
