Just want to say, it's definitely not THE most popular game of all time... Candy crush could be a strong candidate, though they probably never use that term on themselves.
- pavlov 4y agoTetris and Windows Solitaire had a multi-decade head start though.
- quickthrower2 4y agoSnap, with real cards is up there.
- mongol 4y agoWhat about Pacman?
- javawizard 4y agoI mean we can squabble about what the definition of "most popular game of all time is", but if you're going with "the game that has sold the most units ever", it literally is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_g... (TFA links to that page toward the end.)
- hohohmm 4y agoyou make the same mistake of the op.
- javawizard 4y agoWhich is?
- hohohmm 4y agoWhich is mistaking the most sales for the most popularity. There is a universe of games that have huge number of users, but doesn't sell copies.
- hnbad 4y agoThis list by definition excludes free and free-to-play games, which is why Candy Crush isn't even on the list. As for others talking about games like Pac Man: yeah, they were probably the most popular games at the time but the number of total players probably pales because the audience has grown considerably over time. I guess there's a strong case for Windows Solitaire though that seems to have somewhat of an age limit as I'd expect there to be a drastic cut-off for younger generations, especially since macOS became mainstream.
