    King has withdrawn its trademark application for Candy in the U.S., which we applied for in February 2013 before we acquired the early rights to Candy Crusher. Each market that King operates in is different with regard to IP. We feel that having the rights to Candy Crusher is the best option for

    I hope you have the hard drive space to spare because it seems as though Titanfall for the PC (at least) will be a hefty 21GB download.
