Mobot: Take a look at the top free apps on the App Store and you’ll see Candy Crush Saga riding high. It’s pretty popular, man. Now take a look at the highest grossing apps, and right at the top is – you guessed it – Candy Crush Saga.

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."
