Shouldn't "candy saga" be copyrighted together?

[newspeed12]

im pretty sure King attempted to copyright the words but ended up denied

[ABlockOfCheese]

how the forget do you copyright a word that you didn't create?

[Foxscotch]

I think they're actually suing them because the game is pretty close to the same thing. not because the title says the word "candy"

yeah Candy Swipe is basically a Candy Crush clone

they also got denied to copyright Candy and Saga as far as i know

Bejeweled doesn't care enough to sue.

Most App games are just clones of other games. Angry Birds is a Crush the Castle clone

[DrenDran]

Yeah, there's not a lot to mobile games, and there's a stuff ton of them.
Such an oversaturated market is bound to be full of duplicate games

this is like a year old

[McJobless]

Unless you have some new sauce, this is extremely old.

Doesn't change the fact King.com is doing it for the money and love to steal gameplay from all the other puzzle game devs.
