Haravikk[/url]":3byr03hn]The real question is why does this make so much money when games exactly like it have been available to play for free online for decades? Same with Angry Birds, which is just a rip-off of every physics puzzler that came before it, yet is the one that has merchandise and a terrible-looking movie.

The "innovation" in Candy Crush over Bejeweled and other old match three games is that they implemented the social network tie-in and deliberately engineered the new games to be addictive. That's why these games make so much money -- they're basically unregulated casino games that give the illusion of benefiting from skill and the reward of random success and status.
