  @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

  @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!? 😭

  @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.

  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.

  @thomaslhorrocks His “Candy Crush” meant being online and disconnected. Explain people not dating, social issues, depression. When isolated, don’t have children.

  @CREID2852 @Empty_America Candy Crush is played a few hours a day, a huge chunk of the players way past fertility. What our society does, keep trying the same stupid solutions is the very definition of insanity. The reality is, there is not fix and we don't need one.

  For all but four years of my life I have lived without a personal computer. In college, I used the computer labs… it was wonderful, in comparison to later experiences, to have pals nearby suffering like you were. My first computer was an Apple laptop. I had never used Apple before. It sat on a quilt I was using as a table cover for three years while the credit card they had advertised for its “affordability” accrued interest so fast that I ultimately paid three times the original price. I only used it to check email haha (it turned out that, indeed, reality television and a full time job were enough and back then Survivor was it…I looked forward all week to the next episode.) I sold that laptop in a Panera for $600. Not bad for used, but barely. My second computer was a gift from a well off would-be boyfriend who thought a huge touch screen Lenovo was the right guess. I used it to conquer Candy Crush while listening to Obama lecture from the t. v. in the adjacent room. Then, out of nowhere, this monster computer/monitor combo went dark. I knew nothing about computers, I was a chemical engineering turned English major: I had avoided computers like the plague. (It dawns on me now how my first memory of computers was in about the second or third grade where I won an award for a paragraph I wrote on a computer screen detailing my plans to sell the most school candy bars that year and win a bike. Maybe it wasn’t for my writing ability, after all??) So, the Lenovo died and I couldn’t fix it or replace it…. It’s ok, I felt I had thoroughly whooped both candy crush and candy soda crush and that must be it,so I went out back to dig in the dirt.

  @Roo_VT See, the problem there is that mobile games skew the statistics and candy crush isn't exactly what people are talking about when they talk about video games.

  @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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  @conrat4567 Using the term “non gamers” in your own tweet sort of helps make the point that attitudes have not really shifted that much. Which is half the problem. Someone can play Candy Crush every day on their commute and will still say ‘oh my know I’m not one of *those* people’.

  @threelinestudio @onyxicca The only problem with the statistic is that they consider your grandma that booted candy crush once a "gamer". Women consume more mobile video games than men, and this has somewhat poisoned the overall statistic.

  I am not normally a gambler, I sometimes do lotto but usually forget, anyway, I recently went on a website to bet for Restore to win the general election and after I spent my money I had some change, about £2.50 and though I’d draw it out and buy an online lotto scratch card but I remembered I hate them and noticed there were games on the betting site like online bingo, roulette, and some candy crush looking games. Well, I like roulette, we had a toy mini table as kids and the other side was a mini snooker table. Me and my siblings spent hours in the summer holidays honing our psychic skills, trying to guess or mentally will the ball to land on a number. So I thought, why not? It’s only £2.5. I like roulette. So I clicked on the game thinking ‘how does this work is it like online scratch cards and already decided?’ and it was a real roulette table and someone spinning the ball 😮 I thought this looks like it costs money to run and there can’t be many people playing cos it’s 4pm I thought it was just me and maybe another person playing for some reason, But then after the ball lands there’s a rolling list of the account names and their wins ; some were wining small others BIG. ‘If that’s what people are winning wtf are they losing?’ And then I remembered I saw another type of roulette advertised on the site and so I went and checked and yes there must have been at least half a dozen different live roulette games happening at once, and then there were other genres; poker, horse racing, one armed bandit type games, etc That was just one website. So, anyway I’m starting to suspect the UK has a gambling problem on a scale I dread to imagine Anyway, I like Roulette, so I put my change on the roulette table won a bit and left as soon as I had doubled my money. I still got those psychic powers from my teen years training But I can’t stop thinking about what I saw; so many opportunities to gamble Should adverts for gambling be banned? For the first time I think maybe we should have food stamps style benefits for people so they are not tempted to gamble because surely some are.
