  @SmashJT The problem Anita has is that her company advocates for representation of groups that don't buy many video games. Women overwhelmingly play stuff like the Sims or Candy Crush. It actively hurts these companies when they try to market to their non-core demographics (men).

  @_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")

  @cheeseonearth @edwardrow The fact that they have to cram all their ******* use into the one half day they have off is the real issue with 15 hours in the candy crush mines.

  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

  @hot_cocoa_girl The problem with spending money on a dating site is that it isn't clear what you are buying with that money. Like I recognize how it is supposed to get you more attention, but it hits me as a little too "pay to win Candy Crush power up" vibes.

  @sleepy_devo Leave it to a retarded lib to completely miss the point. He's saying if you spent your time more wisely, you would be able afford kids. It's a prioritization issue. If candy crush is that important to you, we really don't want you having kids anyways.

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

  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.

  @kananaskinyeti they also have no problem with the vampire capitalists rigging everything online with casino addiction marketing, all those candy crush games of sparkle and jingle made to psychologically snare them in a dopamine loop to suck money out of them.

  @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

  @not__vee I would view this "study" with the same skepticism as the one that said "most gamers were women" by including mobile games like Candy Crush. Also, the powers that be seem to have no trouble not listening to the customer base. Why would they listen now?

  @Cyberdost Let me tell you the reality. I have visited cyber cell for atleast 20 times and I have never seen your officers working. They are either watching reels, playing candy crush or having chit chat with colleagues over cup of tea.

  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."

  @IdleSloth84_ Honestly, it seems that management over Xbox Studios and Bethesda was the main issue. For sure some employee redundancy led to layoffs, but I don't know if Xbox would be better or worse w/o ABK. At least, CoD before BO7, Warzone and Candy Crush probably brought some money.

  $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.
