One of our writers looks at Kings trademarking policy and assesses what it could mean for the future of gaming
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.
Amazing! Congrats for keeping the game alive and relevant for so long. This and Angry Birds defined casual mobile gaming.
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."
I'm looking forward to Call of Candy: Ghost Saga
BattleCandy 5: Return of the Cavities
In all seriousness this Trademark thing is a joke, companies should not be allowed to Trademark common words just like you can not copyright them.
I do get that there are a tonne of copy cat Candy games out there, which is probably annoying for King, but even half-seriously going after The Banner Saga is crazy.
There is a game on andriod called "call of infinity" and it is clearly ripping off cod and halo but it is in 3rd person for some reason!
also offtopic (kinda) I thought you couldn't trademark names of things that already exist so how did apple get trademarked?
In the next few years, they would end up like Zynga was.
