Candy Crush, casual games, and their ads don't exist in gaming magazines sold wrapped in plastic bags. The main demographic for game sales is casual players. The main demographic for the ads is teenage boys (or basement dwelling manchildren). They're different markets.

Candy Crush ads are on the home screens of smart phones. Pay the carrier to include it in their bloatware, job done.

Clearly you haven’t watched any late night TV recently.

I don't think I've turned a TV onto anything live in about 3 years.

Fair enough. The channels I occasionally see have quite a few advertisements for free to play apps.
