  • To put into context; Microsoft bought Activision/Blizzard for 69 Billion dollars. A huge portion of that was actually King.

    Around 2014, over 93 million people were playing Candy Crush Saga, while revenue over a three-month period as reported by King was over $493 million. Five years after its release on mobile, the Candy Crush Saga series has received over 2.7 billion downloads, and the game has been one of the highest-grossing and most-played mobile apps in that time frame. As of September 2023, it had reached over $20 billion in revenue.

    Safe to say mobile market makes a lot more money we’d be comfortable with.

    I shared my arcade membership with my mom a while ago (I had gotten it included) and it put her purchases on my card. This bio-chemist (very smart lady in some specific subjects) spent over $25 on ‘micro’ transactions in a week or so. They prey on the group that just want to get things done.












  • Step tape in a private mansion? Do we know where this is? I have a feeling it was turned into a public space (even if just tours) and then left. I’d love to know more

    Edit; I went down a slight rabbit hole trying to figure out where this was taken. Looking up the artist shows quite a few articles on his pictures. They all just boil down to the same pictures, Christian grew up in East Germany before the walls fell (so plenty of abandonporn there), and mainly SEO dump for a few paragraphs. All the links sourced are broken/unclaimed as it looks like he deleted his Instagram. In the hard quoted sections they list Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and Poland.

    I don’t know if I’m bored enough yet to try and look up archives haha
