While it's not as personally insulting to me as Clash of Clans, Candy Crush is just as bad, if not worse. It turned a perfectly harmless puzzle game into a ruthless conglomerate that consumes any sense of integrity within the mobile gaming space.

Even setting aside all the disgusting clones it spawned, it's an absolutely deplorable piece of media, manipulating the consumers with bullshit design in the hopes that they'll become addicted and spend money on it. And that strategy works revoltingly well. I'm not exaggerating when I say this game may be the worst thing that ever happened to video games.
