Mike Chong (@realMikeChong) reportedanother 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

Boney R. (@boney2r) reportedA 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.

happy fruit (@Slippitopia) reported@KFalexthegreat @RushBaby1980 Easy to exude quiet and pensive when taxes pay for your healthcare. To so openly hate the poor and sick (and then blame the world's problems on children playing candy crush) like he does is vile.

Thomas Birch (@TBirch86) reported@KoryNParker @Taxeconomist I feel for him and his family, but hard pass. I’m tired of the media trying to get us to listen to this guy. He’s so out of touch. Saying Americans are playing Candy Crush instead of having babies…he’s done nothing to address affordability issues during his tenure in the Senate

Paul Kuharsky (@PaulKuharskyNFL) reported@JaredStillman And no one told me he was sleeping and playing Candy Crush while others were doing their work. May have had issue last, those were not them.

tshi art (@ArtTshi) reported@UmberHouse @Sir_Dammed Yes, *I* make it a quality issue. The whole problem, at its core, is a quality issue. Anyone can eat cheap fast food, that doesn't make everyone a gourmet. Just like anyone can play candy crush and that doesn't make them gamers

Johnny Utah (actual surfer) (@_perlstein) reportedBPD love working detail on Grateful Dead and Phish shows at Fenway Park because they get paid to stand around playing Candy Crush while raking in overtime to look intimidating in the presence of the worst affluent people imaginable that are tripping *****

Husky Softball Fan (@PierceCoAlcohol) reportedI heard candy crush was the problem
-
MichaelScarn (@m_depo34) reported@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.

breezy (@macrocephalyy) reported@mattsheehan92 @kenklippenstein He using candy crush as an example. Thats many in his generation example of phone addiction. He doesn’t mean literally just candy crush is the cause of problems. Use some critical thinking

TheHoneyG (@Thehoneyg3) reported@TatataToddC @charlieINTEL @TheVerge unfortunately CoD, Candy Crush, Forza, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout76, Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, Diablo, Overwatch, WoW, Crash n Spyro make them tons of profit.. its the other bullshit: Project Blackbird 400m wasted Perfect dark 200m Everwild 150m redfall 70m hellblade2 80m

Sir Faxmachine (@SirFaxmachine) reported@kanon06 And it shouldn't count them at all. There's a HUGE problem as a game company if you read this bs study and think your game should appeal to both the sweaty COD gamer blasting 12 hrs a day and Brenda from accounting who plays candy crush at lunchtime. Its a worthless study.

Frapp Nasty (@FrappNasty) reported@bonnewillbonne Let's make a pledge not to fix their PCs so they can't play Candy Crush.

Lensar Dawn (@Lensar_dawn) reported@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.

PaulituHD (@PaulituHD) reported@MarvelRivals YOUR *** IS BETTER BE WORKING ON FIXING BLACK PANTHER RN. BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BLACK PANTHER JUST ABSOLUTELY MOWING OVER MY WHOLE TEAM ALMOST 1 SHOT THEN ID RATHER PLAY CANDY CRUSH WHILE WATCHING MADAME WEB. YES, ITS THAT BAD

tshi art (@ArtTshi) reported@_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")

Daniel the DJ (@DanielG67128715) reported@Hammertimeeeee @pete_scanlon Hi 🐷! Hilarious that a stupid high school educated 🐷 is telling someone to “research” something. 🐷 are the stupidist members of society. Incidently, I don’t have a problem with this. It’s better that a dumb violent 🐷 be playing Candy crush than violating someone’s rights ACAB

ayv4zyan (@ayv4zyan) reportedMakes 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."

Listening to Theme of Lu Bu on Repeat (@shonan_naminori) reported@Sandsdiego @10News Working on that new Candy Crush record
-
Adam Lyttle (@adamlyttleapps) reportedBeen working on level progression for my little piano game And been thinking; what happens if candy crush (and those sorts of games) wanted to add new levels at beginner stages? Or remove levels? Is level 10 on the original candy crush still the same level 10 now? I doubt it. I’m guessing they just replace the level and those who already finishes never knew. But I just never considered that before
-
Alvin Russell 𓆋 (@FearsomeLLC) reportedIf you're being disruptive, that's a loud music and inconsiderate ******* problem, not a video game problem. Just, wear ******* headphones. But the only people who don't do that are literally boomers. The amount of unmuted Candy Crush I've heard from women pushing 70 is absurd.

Byron White (@JusticeWhizzer) reported@JDCocchiarella Agreed, good riddance. Maybe address the actual issues causing a decline in birth rates instead of blaming the younger generation and “Candy Crush.”
