Hardcore Gamer: When it was announced yesterday that mobile game giant King had filed a trademark for the word “Candy” and was enforcing it, we weren't too worried. While the sheer concept sounds ludicrous, it seemed as if they were simply doing it to get rid of games leeching off their titles. Things change in 24 hours, however, and when it was revealed that the company was now going after The Banner Saga merely for having the word “Saga” in their title, we became pretty enraged — and we’re not the only ones.
Almost every one of us get out onto the streets and travel somewhere everyday. Here are the top 10 mobile games that you can play during your daily commute.
Candy Crush Saga is celebrating the release of its 5,000th level with a special event. Starting today, King will make each of the millennial levels available for 24 hours.
From VG247: "During GameLab, Barcelona, last week, we sat in on a panel discussion between A Way Out director Josef Fares and Quantic Dream’s David Cage. In the panel, Fares had some choice words to say about mobile game developer King.
King is owned by Activision and creates games such as Candy Crush Saga and lots of other games with ‘Saga’ at the end. The studio’s games generate money through microtransactions."
As I've said before, patients and trademarks are getting out of hand. Not only is it illogical for a game as bland and unoriginal as Candy Crush Saga (which I assume only got popular because of its extremely aggressive marketing), but these are some very common and basic words that you shouldn't be allowed to own. If anyone deserves the rights, it should be Hershey, Mars or someone who actually makes candy, not some 2 bit developer that made a game that will be forgotten in 5 years like MySpace.
LOL! That's friggin' amazing, I hope some of these get published.
