  @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.

  5. He played Candy Crush and used some other apps for seeing what's happening in the stock market and YouTube. YT is where I encountered the problem with the feed he was getting. It was filled with the complete AI slop of PM Modi. Any nonsense about Modi it would be there.

  1. The Start Menu Ad Board Situation: You open the Start Menu to launch your core tools, expecting a clean grid of your installed software. Instead, half your visual field is polluted with "Pinned" apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Candy Crush. You assume these are pre-installed programs taking up valuable disk space, but they are actually just paid corporate advertisements waiting for a misclick to trigger a background download. System: Right-click and unpin every single piece of corporate bloatware immediately. Do not leave a single one. Then, go to Settings > Personalization > Start and aggressively turn off "Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more". Why it works: You reclaim your visual real estate and cognitive load. The Start Menu goes back to being a pure, functional launcher that obeys your commands, not a digital strip mall designed to steal your attention before you even begin working.

  @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

  Can we please come out of this candy crush campaign. We have far serious issues to discuss. All the fuel owners of this country are enjoying their luxury life and pushing the whole nation into lockdown and inflation caused by shortage and inflated rates of fuel

  @JessicaHamel19 @MeghanEMurphy it’s better to spend 18 hours a day yelling at internet people then playing a game that has puzzles and requires problem solving. They are just jealous they suck at 99% of games besides Candy Crush

  @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’.

  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.

  @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.

  Although I am happy Crash on the Run is coming back, but come on the company could’ve used actual screenshots instead of fake generated AI images (Also Crash > Candy Crush, no question)

  @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.

  @Duck69Mc @B_Rabbit843 I don’t buy it, no gamer would lie about this being a game what do you even play candy crush? you really sound like a child acting like everything else is the problem cuz we aren’t letting this art project pretend it’s a game, just stop it it’s cringe

  @PiereChangstein @TheJFreakinC This issue is, obviously, far too complex for your feeble brain. The legislators that passed the VRA would look upon you as they would a child - wonderous but woefully ill equipped to grasp the gravity of the subject matter, and the moment. Perhaps a round of Candy Crush?

  $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.

  @unquirer How incredibly sad is this? Talk about "Flailing at fictitious Windmills." It's so very clear -- the Directionless, the Lonely, the Disconnected -- no longer working, kids grown and gone - they've lost "life context." If they weren't doing this, it would be Candy Crush in a dark living room, or gambling the 401K at Bangor Slots, or maybe pursuing a new "love interest" in Nigeria, with a future slot on Reality TV. Too bad they can't figure out a "way to waste their time" that isn't more impactful and productive in the Real World.

  @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.

  Gen-Z is not lazy or stupid, and telling them they are will just make things worse. They have executive function issues as a result of being handed a screen ever since they were children by moms who became addicted to candy crush by the time the kids were around 7.
