King no longer claims to own "candy," still claims it owns "saga"

King Games, makers of Candy Crush, have backed down from their insane campaign to trademark the use of “Candy” in connection with games, a gambit that brought them ridicule and opprobrium (for example, a game jam where all the games made use of “candy”), not least because the company bullied competitors who had created candy-themed games years before Candy Crush came to market. However, the company still asserts a trademark over the use of the word “saga” in connection with games, and is trying to shut down The Banner Saga.
