We’re not evil, says Candy Crush creator

King executive responds to furore over its practices by telling critics ‘we’re a really nice company’.

Activemessiah4418d ago

lol for trying to issue threats to small devs regarding using "Saga" in titles... you're not evil... You're scum.

Yi-Long4418d ago

... especially considering they stole the whole concept of Candy Crush Saga from some other unknown developer.

'We're not evil' ... Yes, you clearly are.

Activemessiah4418d ago

One of the first games i played that inculded "saga" was Saga Frontier from Squaresoft... that was used waaaay before that though.... can't just appear and claim it like some decorated Nazi.

When stop using copyright loopholes to steal game rights from people that THEY ripped off, THEN I'll believe they are not evil.

"... especially considering they stole the whole concept of Candy Crush Saga from some other unknown developer."

And then tried to get the game removed from the app store...

Meanwhile, this oh so not evil company is actively trying to stop the Banner Saga developers from using the word Saga in their game. This company is worse than Zynga and thats saying a lot.

Why would you even have to refute being evil if you were a really nice company? I've seen what you have done to my elderly mother and what you have done to my female friends! What you have turned them into! Looks evil to me... King!

If these guys were a bigger household name they would probably be a contender for worst company in the country. They'd give EA a run for their money for sure.

i think evil is a narrow word for this situation, when i think of evil, think massacres world conqueror not extremely greedy companies that will betray their families for wealth.

randomass1714418d ago

Sure, you're not evil. You're just incredibly corporate and greedy. Jerkwads.

Clash of Clans, Call of Duty and Candy Crush Saga can all Burn to the ground for all I care.

Good for those taking legal action. Holding these corporations accountable for their crappy decisions, needs to be top priority.

I've worked at places like this. I can't explain enough the toll that type of environment takes on you personally. you're taking that bad energy home to your family.... when you get to see them that is.

They actually call them "levels"? Hahaha.

Amazing! Congrats for keeping the game alive and relevant for so long. This and Angry Birds defined casual mobile gaming.

DarXyde2508d ago

The story of Candy Crush is kind of a sad one. Some other guy suffered pretty badly because King is bigger than he is.
