True, but gameplay was never really the issue in terms of trademarking "Candy" (and "Saga" or whatever else). The interesting thing is that, in order to defend a trademark, you have to prove that there is potential for confusion. Here we have someone who supposedly had a confusingly-similar trademark before Candy Crush showing actual user confusion (i.e. no need to argue potential if you can show it's already happening).

The douchiness of King's move is not in question. I'm just pointing out that, apart from generally being similarly evil, it's not at all related to the Scamperghost thing. We should be angry at King for two different ways in which they are evil, not two counts of the same thing. If anything, this makes them worse.
