In the crowded world of mobile gaming, the biggest surprise is that the first Candy Crush game hasn't been supplanted by its own successors. King's original Saga remains the company's biggest and best known property, and is now celebrating its fifth anniversary. It really is hard to believe such a simple game is still going strong after all of these years. Do we have any [H] players around here that can explain how this thing keeps going and going?
While there's much to celebrate for the studio, Knutsson admits that though the number of daily active users is "fairly stable", it's also "on a downward trend". Active users is arguably a better metric for success than total download numbers, as it reflects the number of players genuinely invested in a game, rather than those who download and forget it's in their app drawer.
