I don’t understand. It’s just Bejeweled.
With candy. What’s the big deal? Innocent words from a better time.
A better place. Before I’d ever made that deplorable journey to the App Store
and downloaded… it is Candy Crush Saga. Now, about a month later, I’ve lost a
little over $US230, hours of battery life, and any remaining semblance of
dignity. Hello, my name is Ashley Feinberg, and I have a Candy Crush problem.
And as it so happens, it turns out
that I’m not even the first. For those blessed few who have yet to
play the game, Candy Crush is, for all intents and purposes, free. It costs
nothing to download and, in theory, costs nothing to play. In
theory. But you know what else seemed harmless in theory?
Communism. The reality is far more complex.
