  @Tokka685747 @ShitpostRock Games are still male dominated. If you remove mobile gamers, you go back to the same numbers before. Problem is when candy crush players are being used to justify changes to streetfighter.

  Low TFR is a problem, but Candy crush is red herring here. Real problem is expensive housing. Need real incentives like 33% off taxes for every child under 18

  @BraedendotTECH 💯 if it's a you, me and peers problem then no it's not an us problem it's a system problem. Wetwear isn't designed for next token predictions. You need to let the ideas digest, marinate and think through it. This is just candy crush for adults. the 20yr olds will realize it soon

  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

  make halloween once a year again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@PumpkinGator) reported 20 minutes ago

  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.

  @LateNightCandi_ They get these darn data sets that show all these female gamers but don't know its mostly Candy Crush and Bejeweled. This female tsunami of girl bosses in games is going to really help collapse a lot of AAA and Government funded devs. And Sony is having a real tough time. They keep doing this. Whats worse is these radicals pushing this in studios are unable to self-reflect and admit a mistake. Always blame anything but the real problem.

  @Zengeku @ShitpostRock2 The issue is that Candy Crush is a bad example of a video game. It's like saying Garfield is a comic. Yeah, it is. But most people who talk about comics are thinking about X-Men or Spiderman, not Garfield.

  @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.

  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

  Having knowledge of both worlds, there is a reason why the classics are the classics and what a rando 19 year old from Hong Kong makes will be forgotten in the next 20-50 years. It's something you can learn to feel. You can learn to have the good taste to understand the difference between contemporary works (as good as they are) and classical works. I don't mean this in a snobby way. I remember a decade ago when the game Undertale was all the rage. Where is it now? Do people still talk about it? Do people even care about it? On sale for 75% on steam. Now, will there be "classical video games"? I don't have doubts here actually. It will be curated, however, and it won't be any random video game. Candy Crush (3B+ downloads) likely won't be there. Maybe the random 19 year old from Hong Kong will make something that transcends its time and place, but I wouldn't bet on it. Every year there is a top-100 chart. How many of those songs will be played 100 years from now when all of the teenagers who listened to it during their formative years are no longer there? The classics may be limping along now because we are in an era that does not appreciate transcendental beauty enough. Even people trying to produce new art in the classical form have this problem (this is at least true in classical music/opera space). But the hope is that it will survive and limp along until another Mozart or Handel or Bach comes along. And despite all of the troubles the classics has, you can still listen to pretty rare/obscure pieces if you want and appreciate them along with the commonly appreciated ones.

  @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.

  Xbox just hit reset. Hard. 🎮 Microsoft is cutting ~4,800 jobs — 2.1% of its workforce. Xbox alone faces ~3,200 cuts through FY27, with 1,600 roles gone immediately. And four studios are leaving Microsoft’s gaming empire. This isn’t just “layoffs.” It’s Xbox admitting the old playbook broke. Game Pass + multi-platform + buying studios was supposed to make Xbox unavoidable. Instead, Xbox got stuck with: - lower margins - weaker console momentum - rising hardware costs - too many management layers - too many bets chasing too little return Translation? Microsoft doesn’t want to own every cool studio anymore. It wants fewer experiments, bigger franchises, cleaner execution, and businesses that actually print money. That means more focus on Minecraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty-scale IP, PC, mobile, cloud, and subscription economics that don’t bleed quietly in the background. The AI angle is subtle but important: Microsoft says these roles aren’t being replaced by AI. But AI is clearly changing where Big Tech spends money. Less headcount in slow-growth units. More capital toward AI infrastructure, cloud, automation, and high-margin software. For Xbox, the next chapter probably looks less like a console war… and more like a platform war. Xbox everywhere. Fewer studios. More discipline. More pressure on Game Pass. And maybe fewer “passion projects” unless they can scale. Bad news for nostalgia. Good news for Microsoft’s margins. Scary news for any studio that doesn’t look like a platform. Unpopular opinion: This reset was coming the moment Xbox started acting like Netflix without Netflix-level pricing power.

  @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.
