On March 18, the "Candy Fun" national service agency Baochuan Game Company issued an announcement that due to the imminent expiration of the agency contract, the game will close the download entrance on the morning of March 19 and stop service on May 18. This Activision Blizzard ace game seems to be unable to mix in China.
Candy Fun is a parody genre game with a 2019 total revenue equal to League of Legends, crushing the Activision Blizzard Family Barrel. However, for domestic players, "Candy Fun" is a bit strange, and Xiao Lei first heard about this game when it was linked with the Blizzard game "Hearthstone".
Unfortunately, even the linkage with the most popular trading card game in China did not make "Candy Fun" fire. This is also no way to do things, there are many domestic mobile game players, so there are many types of mobile games. Usually take public transportation, most of the people playing games around are "Glory of kings" and two-dimensional card games, a small number of people will play landlords or chess, there are also some people who play entertainment, but basically do not see anyone playing "Candy Fun".
For king, a subsidiary of game developer Activision Blizzard, "Candy Fun" will not be much of a loss to stop operating, after all, there are too few players. For domestic "Candy Fun" players, it is indeed a pity to lose such a classic game, but they do not have to be sad.
The claim of The Treasure Ship Game Company is that the contract is about to expire, and it is estimated that it is not going to continue to act as an agent considering that the game is not profitable, but this does not mean that other game companies do not have the idea of taking over. When the ninth city announced that it would stop representing "World of Warcraft", the game was subsequently taken over by NetEase, and perhaps "Candy Fun" will also find a new agent.
In addition, for Activision Blizzard, the mobile game we are most looking forward to is definitely "Diablo: Immortal", when Blizzard executives angrily rebuked us, making everyone think that the Dark Mobile Game is about to go online. As a result, to this day, the dark mobile game is still being tested, and the launch time is far away.
It's not that Activision Blizzard gamers are opposed to mobile games, it's just that Blizzard executives' attitudes are too high-minded, causing players to be dissatisfied. Although Activision Blizzard is one of the world's top ten game manufacturers, in addition to "World of Warcraft", "Hearthstone", and the half-dead "Overwatch", other games seem to have no sound in China, perhaps Activision Blizzard really needs to think about the problem.
