We've been getting some complaints that while users are browsing on their mobiles the play store opens and prompts them for a download of Candy Crush Saga.
We took this problem to our advertising partner because we thought it likely there was a problem with one of the ads being run on N4G.
The conclusion is that this is not a problem caused by N4G, NewsBoiler or the ads currently running on the network. There is malicious code that Android users are running into that infects Android devices and makes it seem like the problem is from websites they are surfing.
Unfortunately, that means that this is not something we can help directly with - indirectly, you're armed with the info so hopefully you can get your infected device sorted! :) Some users have reported success with turning off javascript and/or clearing their cache and cookies.

Launching alongside Cities Skylines 2 mods, the new DLC for Colossal Order’s sequel sits at the very bottom of the entire Steam chart.
Just a fyi you still need for a mid/high end pc to get decent frame rate/smooth experience at 1080p on a large city.
Sense october last year they have been trying to get it out of alpha still have not tossed out the premium version of dlc and now are charging for dlc on top of that.
Cities 2 has lower number of players than the first one also.
14700k/4070ti medium some high settings 1080p this person is stoked small city can get past that 60fps threshold

In the battle between Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon's Dogma 2, Baldur's Gate 3 wins in more ways than players would expect.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "Thanks to the recent PlayStation Store promotion, these seven games with discounted pricing are worth a shot any day of the week."
Thanks for the heads-up.
Just for feedback, I'm getting this every time I click or tap something on this website.
No other website has the problem, so I'm assuming it's targeted towards N4G cookies?
I'm glad this was brought, up because I've been having the same problem, and yes every time you click on anything on n4g a "Candy Crush download app" page appears.
i find it happens more common with using firefox for android. when i use chrome it doesnt happen.
initially i switched from chrome to firefox on my GS2 because chrome had issues with web pages in general. Firefox worked until i started getting the play store pop up.
now i have gone back to chrome on my GS2 and it works fine.
That's funny, I've seen the download prompt elsewhere but never on N4G.
Anyway thanks for the heads up.
