Therefore, fans did not hesitate to express their anger at this way of doing things, especially when the American publisher Blizzard Entertainment stated that they would not be able to purchase powerful equipment or rise in rank with the help of silver equipment. No doubt overwhelmed by the events, Wyatt Cheng wanted to protect himself from the attacks of certain players on the networks, but the answers are lunar: “King does not justify charging $100 for a bunch of lives in Candy Crush, why should we apologize for a game that cost over $50 million and six years to create? I don’t like misleading information. There is a difference between gamers who like or dislike a game based on its merits (which I can accept, not all games are for everyone) and those who like or dislike a game based on the misinformation surrounding it. ”
