Sometimes I get angry when some game series I enjoy does something that I don't like.
But I never really understood why people spend so much time and energy hating something they never liked to begin with.

Easy mass appeal to casual gamers.

Then hate on Candy Crush, at least that was partially responsible for normalizing the pay-to-win mechanics that have started to plague all of modern gaming.
I just can't really justify hating something "because other people like it."

I don't think it's all that hard to see why people would like those, or other massively popular series. They're well crafted, and served to set the standard for certain aspects of their genres.
It doesn't mean you're obligated to like them too, since it's entertainment, and subjective.
