I probably have a similar sensibility in regard to games, but Candy Crush is quite the opposite of &quot;watching paint dry&quot; in a lot of respects.  It&#x27;s full of novel&#x2F;weird animations, cute characters, satisfying sound effects.  I compare it to a casino slot machine room - a lot of people just like to be mesmerized by pretty sights&#x2F;sounds without that much of a challenge.  I don&#x27;t exactly respect it as a gamer, but it speaks to a weird&#x2F;interesting human need.
