So is Candy Crush like the first stage of grief for when you realize your FarmVille farm is gone?

[ICERRR_FROM_BEYOND]

I used to play candy crush as a kid and my dad installed cheats on it so I had infinite lives and power ups lmao.

As soon as you mentioned the free bonus timer and the streak bonus, I immediately knew it would cycle. Seriously mobile games encourage gambling addictions and need to be restricted or you get stuff like this.

Edit:Forgot about the literal slot machine games designed to make you spend your money and go broke off of an addiction.
How is this legal??!

Edit:came back to this video and got a candy crush ad. Oh the irony

candy crush is like the myth of Polybius fully realized. a game built specifically to addict you and keep you by it’s side 24/7, even though it will probably harm you to do so.

not only will this be a series of just candy crush, he will make and arg out of it. Just Watch

I'm sure nobody is gonna see this, but I think it's really valuable to know the difference between you playing the game, and _the game_ playing _you._ Giving up makes people feel weak and unaccomplished, but to truly win these sorts of games, you have to be strong enough to put the game down. Games like this always hold some satisfaction just out of your reach, but never give it to you. You go braindead, spending countless hours of your life on something so banal and trite, trying to find a point at which you feel accomplished with your work. But you never feel like you've done enough, because you never really did anything. So you just keep coming back for more and more. I used to fall for tactics like this, but I've changed and become stronger, I think. So don't go back to Candy Crush-- not for any reason. You'll always think it's because its _on your own terms_ and that you _want to, _ but you'll never truly gain anything by playing it.

I recently started playing. Honestly, I noticed it was funky how easy the levels were. It was pretty fun though. I feel like it's a very addicting game that is unhealthy. Addiction is not hard to get into, it appears.

watching this while playing lol. my recommendation is:
1-dont buy shit. if u start, you are not gonna stop.
2- turn both the music AND the sound off. listen to something else.
3- play only when you can afford to.
4- do it shamelessly. i assure you, your friends dont give a fuck that you play. but doing it like a dirty lil secret might make u indulge waaaay more than you should.

i play it after lunch while i have my glass of water or soda and my cigarrette, while listening to podcasts and youtube videos. i have fun, and then go on with the day.

You know Black Friday? The musical satire where an evil diety creates a cult by manipulation people using commercialisation? There should be a musical about a diety that mind controls people using video game addiction

Candy crush is like literal candy, is tasty, so good you can't just have one, but before you realize you'll be just sitting on your couch with a big belly thinking how the heck did you let that happen

[snakewithapen]

Before this video, I got a candy crush ad, and then directly after that one I got an ad about how addictive vaping is.

[shrimpsushi]

I keep getting the same unskippable candy crush ad on practically every other video I watch, yet the one video I watch about candy crush just shows me ads for new windows.

40 year old moms: finally a worthy opponent

[ToxicBronyRoseAlt]

To lose a save THAT nostalgic is heartbreaking.

[vermilisix]

I thought this would be a joke because of how ridiculous the title sounded but it wasn't and it did not disappoint

[foo]

Dude mobile games are scary. They’re basically gambling addictions you can get in your phone for free.

Really cool video btw

[randomstuff-qush]

The first time I came across a game packed with microtransactions and manipulative tactics to get me to spend, I fell for it hook, line and sinker. With 20-20 hindsight, the game's tactics are so obviously manipulative that a 5 year old should have been able to avoid falling into the trap. At the time though, I was in a very toxic work environment where certain members of supervision had decided to make my life a living hell. Being a "whale" in game bought me the friendship and respect I wasn't getting in real life. I stuck it out til retirement (at that time, you either made it long enough for pension or left with nothing), then retired and got a job with a much better work environment. Once I was getting friendship and respect in real life, the game had much less hold on me.

Videogames should have laws more strict than even gambling

A moment of silence for the people who spent money of Farmville, only to have the game removed

[ihazskinpv]

trying not to play addictive games sounds like a fun idea for a series
