Candy Crush Saga

I do not get why a game is made to be no fun. This game is fun at first BUT it gets to where it is more frustration. Challenging is one thing but playing a level for days or weeks to beat it is absurd and no fun. The levels shouldn't be so hard to pass and from what I read in the reviews, a lot of people feel the same way. All these games are just alike. Start out fun but become impossible. Games are supposed to be fun and relaxing but I guess you never got that memo! I wind up deleting them. Think about easing up a bit please. And it still has the same glitch problems I wrote about before. You pass a level and it doesnt recognize it and you're sent right back. Or even better, I have paid for extra moves because one or two moves and I would finally be done with a level, something happens, money is taken and you're sent right back to start that same level again. Ridiculous! FIX THE GLITCH PLEASE!!! Finally bet a level I had played for several days, saw the sugar crush and thought yes this level is finally over only to have a glitch in the game and it didn't show i'd beat it and took me right back to the level I'd just beat and several days later- stuck again!!!!! This game is fun but losing its appeal because some of the levels are so hard and take to many tries and to much time to beat that it just takes the fun out of it and gets boring and frustrating. I know you are in it to make money and maybe everyone's comments don't matter. But this is a money pit. The wait time is to long between lives and you need to add more lives because you will be still ok in the money department. Make it more fun and ease up on some of the levels.

I’ve been playing this game since the beginning. I openly admit to my addiction (and you know that King). I noticed that the game has changed as others have, I now have to spend more $1.99 to finish a level. It seems that you’re calculating the number of attempts and shortening them so that only a player who has stockpiled tools or randomly receives some advantage can finish the level without resorting to paying money. I began noticing this after level 10,000. I really love this game but I think I can put it down now and walk away. I know Candy Crush will stay around for a long time because it’s an endearing game, but knowing that King has been sold to a big company where revenue is King, I’m going to step away now so I don’t feel like a fool for continuing to pay money. The aspect of addiction represented by this game is not healthy and is akin to the slot machines in a casino. Inconsistent rewards together with color, lights, and random cute things, are a powerful and seductive trap. As I let go of candy crush I noticed around me in the United States the pervasive Incursion of casinos, in fact I expect there to be at least one casino in every state if not more. I believe they’re going to replace malls, and as all of us are conditioned to the type of addiction that game like candy crush breed, yeah, Will all flock to those. And it won’t surprise me if the company that owns Candy crush now makes casino games… and so on and so on and so on.

I’ve been playing Candy Crush for many years and in the 6000’s level-wise. I’m also a member of the King Royalty program. I am not connected through Facebook. I am connected with my email. I’ve invested quite a bit of money over the years. Any time I’ve contacted King, they’ve always been fair in reimbursing me when the game malfunctions. 3 days ago, I logged into King. I was informed I had 2 gifts to claim. I claimed gold. A lot of it. Literally right after, my game will not load. My computer generated picture is gone. Events are gone. All my boosters and gold are still available. The problem is, I cannot use the gold. In order to “play on” it prompts to use 10 gold bars. I get a “connecting” ring, and nothing ever happens. I’ve also received a “it’s not you, it’s us” or “no connection. Please try back later.” I’ve contacted King in reference to this problem. I’ve done every generic step. I have free space. I have restarted my phone. I have made sure the game is updated. King informed me that I would have to uninstall Candy Crush, and reinstall it. In doing so, I would lose anything I received for free. *cough cough* the gold bars I just claimed, and any boosters I’ve won. The only thing that would remain is what I’ve paid for. Uhhhh, no thanks, Vin (customer service rep). I will continue to complain and review this until my game is functioning correctly. It’s quite obvious to me what’s going on here. Guess being a LOYAL customer and paying into this game really has no real payout. What a joke.
