  @KoryNParker @Taxeconomist I feel for him and his family, but hard pass. I’m tired of the media trying to get us to listen to this guy. He’s so out of touch. Saying Americans are playing Candy Crush instead of having babies…he’s done nothing to address affordability issues during his tenure in the Senate

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  @mcahogarth The problem is that "gaming" has come to mean everything, including solitaire or Candy Crush. Yes, these are games, but playing them isn't "Gaming". "Gaming" is more involved (or can be), usually more time consuming. Like a video game version of a tabletop RPG.

  @60Minutes Imagine thinking "candy crush" is a problem but the inability for the average American wage earner to be able to afford an average standard of living isn't even considered? wtf man. Who's trying to have kids when no one can afford them?

  @shutupchelsey Not candy crush catching strays. Lmao so I’m supposed to be outchea ******…. Got it. Make it affordable, make it so that I can actually have time to raise a kid as opposed to working my life away.

  Allegedly M (@SoAllegedly) reported 24 minutes ago

  I’m not having kids because there’s endless wars, humans are destroying the environment, healthcare is expensive, college costs are high, the housing market sucks, and I have a lot of health issues that I don’t want to pass on but yeah, candy crush.

  @LizzieMarbach Women are just so bad at playing them which is the real crux of the issue. Like 5 year old boys can crush them at anything that isn't...candy crush

  @conrat4567 Using the term “non gamers” in your own tweet sort of helps make the point that attitudes have not really shifted that much. Which is half the problem. Someone can play Candy Crush every day on their commute and will still say ‘oh my know I’m not one of *those* people’.

  @ShrutiUnnikrish @F1 I don’t buddy with ****** fcks, loser. Russel’s fault?! 🤯 I hope you don’t drive. Max doesn’t NEED to worry about getting driver penalties, so he can afford to go out of his way to crash and bash his way up the order. Go back to watching candy crush. F1 be 2fast4U…..

  The US has the worst maternal mortality rate among high-income countries. Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth related causes. SNAP and WIC benefits are being slashed left and right. But sure, Candy Crush is the problem.

  @GregChase @Noahpinion Re: the Ben Sasse "Candy Crush" clip that's going viral To the extent that people have become distracted from the important things in life by "little dopamine hits," I would put BBM and BrickBreaker in that category -- but the problem seems much more acute now

  @fortelabs this is the X bubble in one stat. on here it feels like obsidian is default. it's fewer total users than play candy crush in a slow afternoon.

  To cite Candy Crush and not lack of proper maternity leave, unaffordable childcare expenses, a broken healthcare system, as the reason young women are deciding not to have babies, is infinitely insulting. @BenSasse

  @60Minutes Well he was part of the problem 🤔 How many Votes did he denied to the middle class people? Saying "Candy Crush" 🍬 is stopping people from having kids is joke. People can't afford to buy a house or have kids. Tell us why gas, rent, and groceries are so expensive? 🤨🙄 @GOP Joke

  @Random_Walk_PDX It would probably have no impact on their already very low birth rates, because Candy Crush is actually the problem.

  @unquirer How incredibly sad is this? Talk about "Flailing at fictitious Windmills." It's so very clear -- the Directionless, the Lonely, the Disconnected -- no longer working, kids grown and gone - they've lost "life context." If they weren't doing this, it would be Candy Crush in a dark living room, or gambling the 401K at Bangor Slots, or maybe pursuing a new "love interest" in Nigeria, with a future slot on Reality TV. Too bad they can't figure out a "way to waste their time" that isn't more impactful and productive in the Real World.

  Zohran’s admin has done zilch for my neighborhood. Public services are the same: buses are slow/infrequent, park issues not fixed, trash everywhere, cops play candy crush, poor and homeless people remain unhelped. If you think these PR stunts matter, you are truly a muppet.

  Dying of cancer and still afraid to actually talk frankly about the true problems facing people. No, it isn't Candy Crush, the game primarily popular with housewives.

  @arcanistsaphras @56pearo People have a problem with the direction the entire art is taking and the other person is spot on the money with blaming you for it. Saying "its not that bad" because they throw you crumbs is the saddest form a consumer can take. I wish people like you would stick to Candy Crush

  @****** I usually find that people that spank are just kind of stupid. Like they don't want to genuinely invest into the relationship with their kid and doom scroll, so when their kid acts out they want to just resort to violence, "stop the problem", then go back to candy crush.
