Bummer, that was a great game.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the legal costs of having to fight candy crush saga in courts to keep the saga name (yes, that happened)
- My god, they can't own the rights to the word "saga." I hate lawsuits like that because King can absolutely afford to continue drowning a small developer in legal issues. And it likely did have an impact.
  
  Sadly it's not uncommon, I think bethesda sued a game for using 'scrolls' in its name... sigh
- they settled on that in 2014 so seems unlikely
