mobilegamer.biz published an article today going behind the scenes at King, the developer of Candy Crush Saga and other mobile games, which was acquired by Activision and subsequently acquired by Microsoft as part of their acquisition of Activision. They interviewed several former King staff who recently got laid off, who helped shed some light on what's going on at the studio. Of note is how they mentioned that Microsoft have made AI use mandatory and want the team to use it on a daily basis.
"AI was being introduced by Microsoft as mandatory a while ago," says one source. "The goal for last year, if I recall correctly, was having a 70 or 80% daily usage of AI on general tasks. And the goal for this year was to get up to 100%, so that every artist, designer, developer, even managers have to use it on a daily basis."
But another source suggested that the mandate isn't working: "AI adoption is very low apart from ChatGPT," they said. "King leadership is in general quite AI sceptic."
But there is more to the story than just that. The article also talks about how employees have taken legal action over their severance packages.
"We all took lawyers and they were pretty clear that the proposals weren't legal," they told us. "But I decided in the end to sign, simply because I fear getting even less and I don't believe we can win against a corporation like Microsoft." Others have continued with legal action, we're told.
And how the layoffs weren't tied to performance and the logic behind them didn't quite make sense.
"It didn't matter that it was people who worked there for ten or more years or who contributed to the success and earned promotions," they continued. "Performance didn't matter."
"The logic for who has been chosen to be laid off has been hard to figure honestly…the rationale outlined was our heavy management layer and inefficient product development, but looking at the people let go, it doesn't align".
And how one team in particular were given unrealistic targets and then later suffered cuts.
The cuts to the Farm Heroes Saga team were described as particularly puzzling. King lays out an 'Annual Operation Plan' for each of its titles, and Farm Heroes Saga was one of few King games close to hitting those targets, we're told. "Candy, Soda and the all other catalogue games were far behind their AOP," said one source. "That being said, the AOP they forecasted was not realistic so the question has to be asked – were we all set up to fail?"
As a result, morale at the company was quite low, made worse by the fact that employees can no longer submit complaints anonymously.
Employee feedback changes enacted as King became part of Microsoft have also contributed to low and declining morale at the Candy Crush maker, we're told. "Especially in the last two years people became more and more unhappy because leadership would make decisions nobody could understand," said one source. "People couldn't raise criticism anonymously any more."
"Every question or piece of feedback was always connected to a name, which scared a lot of people, rightfully so. As a manager I was always trying to deliver that feedback to the leadership team anonymously, but I was pressed on names."
To make matters even worse, the former staff also spoke about how toxic the leadership and HR at the company are, accusing them of protecting leaders who were reported multiple times for misconduct and never getting repercussions, as well as HR targeting people who made the complaints in the first place. And yes the AI stuff ties into it as well.
Another source offered some particularly fierce criticism. "HR is indeed a shitshow of incompetent people protecting the status quo of incompetent leaders," they said. "Often, they have protected toxic leaders that have been reported to several degrees of accountable people, HR and above."
In the past, leaders investigated more than once by the 'Right Way2Play' workplace conduct team had seen no repercussions at all, we're told. "HR has often protected toxic leaders and put pressure on the 'difficult' employees for reporting the issue," one source said. "Employees that were vocal and known for being vocal have been targeted by HR on several occasions."
They also claimed that some burnt-out staff have been put on medical leave. "Candy Crush and King in general is a very very toxic environment," they added. "Individual contributors are talented and nice – the toxicity comes from the leadership team. So, yes, Microsoft and AI is one cause [of the low morale] but the toxicity is endemic of the leadership team at King."

You notice you are now dressed in new clothes and have gained new abilities based on what of the 6 classes you'd most prefer (Fighter, Monk, Thief/Rogue, White Mage, Black Mage & Red Mage, only one per party) and have 4 darkened orbs.
If you go to the city, after a while the guards will come for you and you'll be sent to the King, be proclaimed as the Warriors of Light and sent on a quest to free his daughter, the Princess Sarah who was kidnapped by the rogue Knight Garland... The first part of your potentially grand decades long journey.

I admit I'm angry right now, this country is trying to kill me and everyone like me and the party that should be supporting us is starting to turn on us.
This isn't politics it's a fucking nightmare for me. I'll try and be as clear as I can. Some trans people (on this very forum) refused to vote for Kamala Harris because she failed to meet their threshold of what constitutes a good leader for the Democratic Party in terms of trans rights. As you said, the alternative was and is worse (in my opinion, much, much worse) on that one issue of trans rights, not least because it has poisoned the Supreme Court against trans people for the next 30-40 years at a minimum. And although voting how you want, of course, is your prerogative, I believed and still believe that actively encouraging people to vote for Kamala Harris last year was the right thing to do FOR TRANS PEOPLE. It wasn't "throwing them under the bus" or "bullying" them to encourage them to vote a certain way. Yet people here clearly disagree with that. (Again, as is their prerogative.)
Now, you're right, Harris didn't appear to be a transphobe. On the other hand, Gavin Newsom, despite being extremely progressive in lots of ways and having a solid pro-gay history, has obviously recently expressed transphobic views about transgender athletes. Let me be clear: I do not think Newsom will be the presidential nominee, partly in fact because he isn't progressive enough on this very issue. I don't think there is a mainstream abandonment of trans rights advocacy in the Democratic Party -- at this stage, at least. It is imperative we encourage all primary voters to vote for progressive candidates who aren't just anti-trans discrimination, but are pro-trans rights.
But in the hypothetical situation that the 2028 Presidential campaign becomes a contest between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., JD Vance, or some other fascist transphobe, I personally believe it is the right thing to do FOR TRANS PEOPLE that we limit the obvious harms of more fascism and rampant transphobia -- especially in terms of the future of the Supreme Court -- and encourage our family and friends to vote for Gavin Newsom.
I totally get why people reject that ultimatum and want to sit out of the vote. Maybe send a message. Or just, to hell with the system.
But I don't agree with that either. People are bringing up the UK and the Labour Party as counter evidence. Keir Starmer was shamefully rewarded for capitulating to TERF forces last year, but I'm not sure that his victory has necessarily sent a message that being anti-trans is a successful strategy. The Tories were perhaps the most unpopular Parliamentary incumbency of all time. Either way, the biggest damage to trans rights in the UK is the 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling, issued unanimously by all Tory-appointed justices. Starmer has since capitulated further to TERFdom, obviously finding political expediency in echoing the Court's ruling, whether he's truly a transphobe behind closed doors or not. Disgusting. But personally I think, for example, Reform UK winning last year would have been far worse.
So I still think it's better to continue the work of advocacy under slightly less shitty conditions, in hope of a better day, rather than under the shittiest conditions, where fascism crushes all hope.

So you and your 3–5 closest online and offline friends (or, if your friend list is a ghost town, the people who argue with you the most in Discord) have all mysteriously died. No evidence. No suspects. Just a mallet lying somewhere in a landfill.
But death? Only the tutorial level.
You wake up in a massive field under a pale violet sky, not far from a sprawling medieval city. The planet is called Bire. The vibe? Unhinged.
Your group now wears strange new outfits and has powers tied to one of six classes: Fighter, Monk, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, or Red Mage. One per party. No trades. No refunds.
But this new world runs on a bizarre system known as the Carrot Economy – you can only take a carrot if you leave a carrot. Trade wisely.
Unfortunately, your party is already infamous. Rumor has it you’re the scammers who promised custom fursuits in a previous realm and never delivered. The city knows. The posters are everywhere.
And then… the guards arrive. Not to throw you in the dungeon, but to declare you the legendary “Warriors of Light.” Your mission? Rescue Princess Benji, who has been kidnapped by the tyrant B-Dubs.
Succeed, and maybe you’ll clear your names, restore balance to the Carrot Economy, and avoid having to “show your hog” at every town festival.
So…WHAT HAPPENS? (Cum)
