I hate the king.com people. Their mobile app ads are almost malware. They do scammy App Store redirects when you're on certain websites. No, I don't give a shit about candy crush.



Yeah, King.Com is pretty aggressive.

The funny thing with Candy Crush is that it's a free app. The only thing that costs money is if you want to "cheat" to get extra turns and goodies to help you get past levels. Totally defeats the purpose of playing a puzzle game, as far as I'm concerned, but they make tons of money off those who are fine with dishing out cash to see that next level sooner.


the funny thing with Candy Crush is that it looks like a free app. If you want to keep advancing levels you will eventually need to pay as the difficulty will make it near impossible to win without paying...


I'm up to level 197, haven't paid a dime.


I think you should be hating the websites that does this rather than King.com

King.com Explicitly prohibits this (and a number of other things) when they advertise with ad companies. But there are always rogue elements (Probably the said websites in this case) that does these kind of things to drive install rate (and make money from King.com).
